NOTE: Believe this to be Gertie Norris, d/o John & Cordelia Norris. I believe the sister that died was Mary Norris (1869-1906) who married William Morris McIntosh. Another sister Della married Hal Regur. Brother Van Buren Norris married Lena Bell. Obituary for son Paul Norris McClurg and brother Robert Norris found elsewhere on this forum. I am looking for more information on this family, please contact me.
