Frank Norris died suddenly at his home on Main street shortly after nine o'clock Tuesday night. He had complained in the afternoon of not feeling well, and later in the evening his condition became alarming. His wife went across to Court street to summon Dr. McDowell, leaving her husband sitting in a chair. When they returned a few minutes later, Mr. Norris was found in a dying condition on the floor. He was lifted to the bed and died while Dr. McDowell was trying to relieve him.
