General Notes: Husband - Elmer Patterson Norris, M.D.

---

He obtained a public school education at New Castle, Pennsylvania, and later attended the Edinboro State Normal School. In 1892 he entered old Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia and was graduated from that noted institution in 1896, being for a part of his course a special student under Drs. Kyle and Da Costa, who were eminent scientific specialists connected with St. Agnes', Blockley and Jefferson Hospitals. Dr. Norris spent a year in these hospitals and annually went back to take post-graduate courses, during these periods of from six weeks to two months enjoying advantages for scientific investigation which he could have scarcely hoped to obtain elsewhere. Dr. Norris practiced for three years at Hillsville before moving to New Castle in 1902. He was an enterprising and progressive member of his profession and in his practice made use of the latest discoveries in medical science. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and was surgeon of the Fourth Regiment Uniform Rank of the order, with the rank of major.
