ROSA NORRIS

St. Clair County Republican - Supplement
Thursday, 16 December 1897
The angel of death summoned from our midst another one whom we had learned to love, this time the one called being Miss Rosa Norris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Norris, aged 18 years, 2 months and 27 days. Some two years ago Miss Rosa was stricken with that much dreaded disease, consumption and has gradually declined in health until the reaper came. She bore her affliction with great patience and was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Death came to her relief last Saturday morning at 6 o'clock. Funeral services were conducted at the church by John D. Simms, and the remains were interred in the King's Prairie cemetery.
