DEATH OF H. H. NORTON
H. H. Norton, one of the oldest
and most highly esteemed citizens
of La Junta, died at 2 o’clock Wed-
nesday afternoon at his home, 312
Raton avenue. Mr. Norton had not
been strong for some months, but it
was not thought that the end could
be so near.
Henry* H. Norton was born in
Farmington, Me., May 25, 1829. He
moved to Illinois in 1852 and to Den-
ver, Colo., in July 1878. From there
he came to Otero county in May 1884
and he lived on a farm until four
years ago, when he moved to La
Junta. He was married to Miss Cath-
erine Sutcliffe on April 28, 1855, and
the two became the parents of five
children, all of whom are dead ex-
cept one son, Rufus, who lives in La
Junta.
For fifty years Mr. Norton had
been a faithful member of the Bap-
tist church, and every duty in its
service was to him a pleasure.
Beside his wife and his son, Rufus,
Mr. Norton leaves a grandson, A. C.
Norton, and three nieces here in La
Junta, Mrs. R. Phillips and Misses
Hannah and Clara Norton, and a num-
ber of more distant relatives else-
where, all of whom are deeply griev-
ed at his going.
The funeral service was held at
the residence yesterday afternoon at
2 o’clock, conducted by Rev. W. T.
Davis, and the interment took place
at a later hour in Fairview Cemetery.
The new made grave was covered
with bright and fragrant flowers that
were the gifts of friends, neighbors
and acquaintances, who placed them
tenderly above their friend – thinking
as they did so how the blossoms
fairness and pervading fragrance were
suggestive of that dead friend’s kind-
ly, helpful Christian living.
This is the third time in three
months that Death has claimed an
old and valued citizen of La Junta.
He is indeed “reaping the bearded
grain” even “at a breath” and Eter-
nity’s gain is La Junta’s and Otero
county’s heavy loss.
