"Sidney lived a very adventurous and interesting life being at one time or another a prospector, miner, mule train driver, founder and secretary of a stock exchange, journalist, business man, newspaper man and newspaper owner.
His entire career was centered around mining and journalism, mostly operating out of Spokane, Los Angeles, Vancouver and Toronto."
Spokane Chronicle of 28 June 1956 on the front page:
Sidney Norman, colorful early-day Spokane newspaper man, mining man and broker, died yesterday in Santa Rosa, Calif., at the age of 85.
Born in Cheltenham, England, where his father was mayor and an editor, he came to Spokane in 1889, in the company of his uncles, William S. Norman and Ben Norman, who operated many Northwest hotels, including the Spokane hotel there.
Active in mining and brokerage circles here in teh 1890's, Mr. Norman also published "The Outburst," an early Spokane paper, and "Mining Truth," which later became the Northwest Mining News before being absorbed into the Mining World at San Francisco.
During his long career he was mining editor of the Los Angeles Times, the Vancouver Sun and the Toronto Globe and Mail.
His last active newspaper work was in Calgary, where he published "The Bulletin," devoted to covering the Alberta oil boom. He retired from this work five years ago at the age of 80.
Mr. Norman's wife, the former Maria Winston of Spokane, was the daughter of Col. Patrick Henry Winston, pioneer Spokane lawyer, politician and publisher.
Mr. Norman's survivors include his wife, at the home; two sons, Dr. Frank Norman, Santa Rosa, and Winston Norman, advertising man and writer, San Francisco; a daughter, Mrs. Virginia Norman McNerney, San Francisco; seven grandchildren and one great grandchild and several nieces and nephews, among them Patrick H. Winston, Spokane."
