Mrs. Thomas Norman Obituary
Very patient, perfectly calm, utterly fearless at the gate of death, a Christian and mother, Mrs. Thomas Norman, one of the oldest residents of this city passed to the great beyond at her home in this city Saturday morning August 28, at 9:00 o’clock, after several months intense suffering occasioned by an appendecile abcess. Some few weeks ago Mrs. Norman underwent a surgical operation for the ailment which brought about her death. The operation was performed by Dr. R.O. Curry of this city and Dr. Turner of Chattanooga. She was thought for awhile to be improving and her many friends had hoped that she would soon recover from the operation, but gradually she grew worse until Saturday morning when she answered the summon and passed to her eternal home. Before her marriage to Thomas Norman, who survives her, she was Miss Emily Skidmore. They were married some fifty years ago and to the union four children were added, namely Mrs. Earl Lapham of Birmingham Ala., Mrs. Thos. Nichols , of Hill City, Tenn., Mr. Loren Norman of Birmingham District, and Mr. Will Norman of Battle Creek, of this county. The remains were followed to Christ Church, of which she has been a true member for a number of years, where Rev. William J. McConnell, the rector conducted the funeral services Sunday morning, after which the remains were carried to the Gilliam cemetery on Battle Creek for interment. The funeral party reached the cemetery shortly before one o’clock, in the afternoon, where a large number of relatives and friends met to pay tribute to the splendid character she was.
Mrs. Norman was one of the best women of our town, numbering her friends always by her acquaintance, and it is with the deepest feeling of regret that we chronicle her demise. She was always considered a favorite with the young people whom she delighted in entertaining and making them enjoy themselves to the fullest, and in a letter addressed to the editor by one of our young women who had gone out into the business world, is found the following words concerning the subject of this sketch. “Sure was sorry to hear of Mrs. Norman’s death, for she was such a true friend to us all in our younger days. I often ponder in my mind the enjoyable occasions in which we all participated at the home of this true Christian woman in our early days.”
There were several from a distance to attend the funeral and burial, among them being Mr. and Mrs. Mike Allison, of Chattanooga, Mr. and Mrs. H.W. Randolph, of Bridgeport, Mr. Earl Lapham, of Birmingham, Ala., and others.
The Hustler extends sympathy to the aged and sorrowing husband, the children and all those grieved because of the death of this excellent woman uncomplaining and triumphant in death.
