Maquoketa Sentinel, January 22, 1857

DIED-

In Bloomfield, Clinton County, Iowa, on the 1st inst., of typhoid pneumonia, Mrs. Almenia, wife of Anson Norton, Esq., formerly of Holland, Erie County, New York, aged 47 years.

In this bereavement, a large family, hitherto unbroken by death, has met with an irreparable loss. A husband and nine children mourn the loss of an affectionate wife and kind mother. The affliction will also fall heavily upon her aged parents, who survive her, now living at the East. Mrs. Norton was universally esteemed by those with whom she was acquainted, and will ever be remembered by them as a person ever ready to sympathize with the afflicted and relieve the suffering. She died sustained by a Christian’s hope.
