The Georgia Enterprise, March 13, 1890
DEATH OF MR. W. A. NORTON
     It pains us to record the death of our friend and fellow-citizen, Mr. 
WILLIAM ADOLPHUS NORTON, which sad event transpired in this city on Friday 
last. He had been in feeble health often and on for sometime, but of late has 
been able to discharge his duties as street overseer. Wednesday afternoon he 
had a severe hemorrhage and was carried to a bedroom in the old King corner 
building, being too weak to be removed home, he remained there attended by 
friends and physicians until Friday noon when he died. His wife being present 
when he breathed his last. His remains were removed to his residence and 
Saturday afternoon laid to rest in the new cemetery, Rev. W. H. LaPrade 
conducting the services at the grave. Aged about 41 years. He leaves a wife, 
seven children and many relatives to mourn his departure. In life we love him, 
in death we drop a tear to his memory. He was a kind-hearted, generous man, 
cordial, genial and companionable. May he sleep sweetly in the solitude of his 
quiet grave yard house, until the great resurrection morn.
