General Notes: Husband - John Norris


He was born in Centre County, Pennsylvania, and when four years old he was brought by his parents to Clearfield County, where he was reared to manhood and throughout life followed agricultural pursuits, clearing and improving a farm in Pike township. Having received a good education for those early days, he engaged in teaching to some extent. His political support was ever given the Republican party, and he was called upon to fill a number of important local offices, serving as justice of the peace for a number of years, and also county commissioner. He and his wife were members of the United Brethren Church.

He was a pioneer of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, bought a large farm in Pike township, which became known as the old Norris farm. He filled the office of justice of the peace for twenty-one years, and also that of commissioner.

He was born in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, and was nine months old when his parents moved to Lawrence township, Clearfield County. Although he had few school advantages he was much better educated than the majority of his school mates and became a teacher, first in Lawrence and later in Pike and Penn townships. After his marriage he engaged in farming for a time on the family homestead and then moved to Hoyt's Mill, in Ferguson township, where he operated a saw-mill for a time, after which he came to Pike township and secured 160 acres of wild and wooded land. He erected log buildings and in the course of time cleared 100 acres of his land and subsequently added more to his original holding. For many years he was a justice of the peace and almost always held some township office. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Curwensville. In his early manhood he was a Whig and later became a Republican.
