Mrs. A. E. Norman Dies In Dallas
Mrs. America E. Norman, former resident of Van Zandt county, died suddenly at a Dallas hospital on the morning of Sept. 9. The body was carried to a Terrell funeral home where it lay in state until the funeral at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 10. Rev. I.L. Pook, Rev. Owens and Rev. Marvin Earnhart officated.
Pallbearers were Jim Lide, Tom Lide, Sidney Beard, Tommy Brown, W. H. Oliver and Virgil Brown. Honorary pallbearers were O. T. Smith, Hugh LaPrade, Avon McKay, Alvin Norman, Harold David Norman and Oscar O'Dell. Interment was in Hillcrest cemetery.
America Emaline Norman was a native of Missouri, born Nov. 16, 1876. She came to Texas in 1901 and settled at Grand Saline. She was a resident of the Wallace community for a number of years before moving to Terrell. For the past eight years she made her home in Dallas.
She was a member of the Wallace Methodist Church.
Her husband, Jacob Norman, preceded her in death on Nov. 19, 1944. She is survived by two sons, David Norman of Canton, Walker Norman of Dallas, one daughter, Mrs. A. A. Brown of Dallas, eight grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, a number of nieces and nephews and other relatives.
Mrs. Norman lived a beautiful life and was loved by everyone who knew her. She was never ashamed of her faith in the Lord and had no fear whatever of death. Her life is in part described in these few lines which were written by a friend, Miss Lorene Patrick.
It is an inspiration to all to know and to be closely associated with a person like Mrs. Norman whose life is dedicated only to the service of God and spotless to the world. She is one who has not wasted her life seeking worldly pleasures, but has spent her time building a noble Christian character that will live on and on in the lives of others after she has gone on to receive her reward in heaven. With her kindly ways, words of encouragement, prayers, faith in God, and loyalty to the Church she is building a bridge from earth to heaven for others to cross and when it is finished and that great spirit shall stand before the Great White Throne of God, I believe the Master will say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, for many have crossed the bridge you've built to heaven, thou hast been faithful over a few things and I will make you ruler over many, enter thou into the Gates of the Lord." That bright smile she wears makes life a little brighter for those who pass her way and to us on that bright lighte face is written, "Kept for the Master's use."
