Signs of the Times, Mar. 1973 (Primitive Baptist Periodical)
	W. L. Norris (Church Elder) was born Apr. 18, 1888, and died Aug. 28, 
1972, in Tuscaloosa, AL.  He was married to Sister Ruth Kirk in 1925, and to 
this union were born two daughters:  Mrs. Mary Ruth Smith, Rogersville, AL, and 
Mrs. Esther Wallace, Tuscaloosa.
	Our dear brother joined Nazareth Primitive Baptist Church in 1953 and 
was ordained to the ministry in 1957.  He served well several churches in the 
Hopewell Association., as well as many visits to other churches and 
associations.
	He was the son of Elder Sammie Norris and grandson of Elder John 
Norris, who served Nazareth Church 50 years.
	Our dearly beloved brother will be greatly missed in the churches as 
well as in the family and neighborhood, as he lived a worthy life to all.  The 
weather was never too bad for Brother Norris to attend his church, as God 
permitted.  He was a strong and faithful believer in the sovereign grace of 
God.  His walk and talk proved this.  I do not know of a more worthy yoke 
brother in the ministry to write about.
	He also leaves two grandchildren, James L. and Ruth Smith, Rogersville.
  	His funeral was conducted by the writer, at his previous request, in 
Mayes Memorial Chapel, Tuscaloosa, and interment was in Memorial Cemetery, 
Tuscaloosa.
	Written by request of the family. – Elder H. C. Moon, Hanceville, AL
