        Will Norton, aged thirty years, passed away at his home here last night following a brief illness. His death came as a severe shock to his wife, formerly Miss Edith Hanson, and his two small daughters. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Norton of Brooklyn. He also leaves two brothers, John, who lives in the west and Joseph of Brooklyn. Funeral services will probably be held on Sunday.
