General Notes: Husband - Thomas S. Norris

Ferguson Twp, Clearfield Co, PA

Previous to his marriage, he remained upon the home farm, and in connection with farming also engaged in lumbering. He continued the latter occupation, taking his wife to camp, where she cooked for the lumbermen, and in this way they secured a start in life. In 1873 they were able to purchase a farm in Ferguson township. The buildings then standing were remodeled, the land was cleared and improved, and later a more commodious and substantial residence was erected, together with barns and other outbuildings. He steadily worked his way upward, overcoming the obstacles, so that he was able, at his death, to leave his family in comfortable circumstances.


General Notes: Wife - Mary J. Askey

from Pike Twp, Clearfield Co, PA
