Abram and Mary Norris, a well known early-day couple who by their close application established the permanent home of the family here when the country was new. Came here when the land was little more than a wilderness, and, working long and hard, redeemed the fertile fields and the fine farms which we of today enjoy and which now are so valuable. We can never say too much regarding these splendid, brave and courageous pioneers who literally took their lives in their hands and, not counting the cost, cast their lot in the new country, away from the pleasant hearthstones of their childhood and the advantages of civilization.
