Mrs. Norman Ashley

 

(Portrait from Evert's St. Lawrence County History)

 

 

 

 

Sunday morning Mrs. Norman Ashley was found dead in her bed. Mrs. Ashley was about 96 years old and had been quite feeble for some time, and her death was not wholly unexpected, at any time. Mr. And Mrs. Ashley were among the first settlers in the present village of Norwood, consequently will be greatly missed by her many friends.
