      ELMER PATTERSON NORRIS, M.D.,
  
  [p. 586] one of New Castle's successful young physicians and surgeons,
  with convenient offices on the second floor of the M. H. Henderson
  Block, on the corner of Washington and Mercer Streets, was born in this
  city, October 28, 1871, and is a son of Charles P. and Elizabeth
  (Roberts) Norris.
  
  Charles P. Norris is a highly respected retired resident of New Castle.
  For many years he conducted a furniture business here and during the
  years of his activity he was a representative citizen.
  
  Dr. Norris obtained a public school education at New Castle and later
  attended the Edinboro State Normal School. In 1892 he entered old
  Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia and was graduated from that
  noted institution in 1896, being for a part of his course a special
  student under Drs. Kyle and Da Costa, who were eminent scientific
  specialists connected with St. Agnes', Blockley and Jefferson Hospitals.
  Dr. Norris spent a year in these hospitals and annually goes back to
  take post-graduate courses, during these periods of from six weeks to
  two months enjoying advantages for scientific investigation which he
  could scarcely hope to obtain elsewhere. Dr. Norris practiced for three
  years at Hillsville before coming to New Castle in 1902. He is an
  enterprising and progressive member of his profession and in his
  practice makes use of the latest discoveries in medical science. He is a
  member of the Knights of Pythias and is surgeon of the Fourth Regiment
  Uniform Rank of the order, with the rank of major.
