and she and Mr. Norfleet were married in the Franklin Methodist Church in 
January, 1900.  Thereafter she and her husband resided in Havana, where they 
were prominent members of the American colony.  A few years ago they 
established a home in Miami, Fla., where Mrs. Norfolk had lived since her 
husband’s death.

   In addition to Mrs. Caswell she is survived by a son, Wilson W. Norfleet of 
Baltimore, four grandchildren, and several relatives in Franklin.

   Funeral services were held in Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Franklin, on 
Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, with burial in Poplar Spring Cemetery, where 
her mother and husband are also buried.  The pallbearers were George O. 
Watkins, W.W. Caswell, Jr., C.C. Vaughan, 3rd, Dr. Beaman Story, Franklin
