The Georgia Enterprise, May 10, 1888
DEATH’S SAD ROLL
     Mr. John Norton departed this life on the night of May 2nd, at his 
residence near Covington. He had been sick for some time and his death was not 
unexpected. Aged about 57 years. Mr. Norton was a kind and generous man, a true 
and steadfast friend, an affectionate and devoted husband and father. He was a 
charitable man and in him the poor and needy ever found in a friend. He was of 
a jovial, social disposition and had a kind and cheerful word for every one. He 
was one of the best known men in the county and his death will be mourned by 
hundreds of dear friends all over the state. He was a Mason, an Odd Fellow and 
a member of the Methodist Church, but best of all, he was an honest man, who 
did not fear to obey his Master’s call when the Angel of Death summoned him 
home. Our sympathies go out to the good wife, the relatives and friends of the 
deceased in their hour of bereavement. Peace be to his memory and rest to his 
immortal soul. Rev. R. J. Bigham preached a touching sermon on the life and 
character of Mr. Norton, and officiated at the burial service, on Thursday 
afternoon.
