The Silent Reaper
Mrs. C. B. Norcross, One of Reno's Early Residents, Dies at Oakland
Mrs. C. B. Norcross died at 9 o'clock last evening at Oakland, Cal., she having
gone to that city hoping that her health, which had been failing for some time,
might be benefited.  Her death was not unexpected, yet her children and friends
hoped that the change would prolong her life at least for a short time.  She
died peacefully and surrounded with loving friends.  Her son, Frank H. Norcross,
was with her at the last, he having left for California on Sunday night.  George
Peckham, her oldest son, was to have taken last evening's train, but a message
came telling him that she was unconscious and he could not possibly arrive in
time.  Frank will arrive on Wednesday morning with the remains and she will
probably be buried from her late residence on that day, although the lateness of
the hour last evening prevented any consultation of the relatives, so it had not
been definitely decided.
Mrs. Norcross was well and favorably known in this community, having come to
Washoe county in its earliest days also residing in various portions of it, but
latterly in Reno.  She was a good neighbor and a christian woman, ever ready to
lend a helping hand in suffering or distress and never hesitating to do her part
in the upbuilding of the community in which she lived.  She was a good mother
and a true friend and she will be greatly missed by those who knew her best. 
She leaves three sons, George Peckham, Chas. A. and F. H. Norcross and a number
of grandchildren who will sadly miss her.  She has fulfilled her mission on
earth and has gone to her eternal rest loved and respected by all
