May 2014 - As far as I know currently, this Norman Edsen Purple was the son of Harlow Martin Purple and Betsey Walker. Norman married Mary Catherine Clark.
I am investigating a Purple family buried in West Cemetery, Amherst Mass : Norman E Purple, Mary C Purple - husband and wife - and their children : Gertrude E, Walter E.
For Norman, since the birth and death dates match in both cases (both memorials), it looks like a match however Mary's stone may list him and his dates but he may be buried in Nebraska.
There is also a daughter Alice A Purple (buried in California) and a son Edson L Purple.
