The Obituary of Asher B. Norton

15 October 1828 - 31 May 1916

From the Livonia Gazette, 30 June 1916

Canadice - Asher B. Norton died at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. E. J. Seal, in Rockford, Ill., recently. He was born in Springwater eighty-eight years ago, marrying Ester Bush of Canadice and living on the old Bush homestead for twenty-five years or more. He went from here to East Bloomfield, where he remained for about twenty-five years, but soon after the death of his wife he went to Illinois to live with his granddaughter, and at her house he died.

He was a prominent church worker here and in east Bloomfield, and stood high in the community. The only near relative is the granddaughter. He was buried at Rockford.

The Obituary of Esther Terbush Norton

15 March 1837 - 17 April 1907

From the Canandaigua Chronicle, 24 April 1907

Holcomb, N. Y. - Mrs. A. B. Norton died at her home in the village of East Bloomfield on Wednesday morning of heart trouble resulting in paralysis, at the age of 70 years. She is survived by her husband; also one son, Frank Norton of Chicago. The funeral was held at her late home on Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, Rev. Mr. Bristol of the M. E. church, officiating.

...

From the Victor Herald, 26 April 1907

The funeral of Mrs. Esther Norton was held from the family home Friday at two p.m. and was largely attended by relatives and friends. The services were conducted by Rev. L. M. Bristol, assisted by Rev. W. D. Robinson. Interment was made in the village cemetery.

Her remains were borne to their last resting place by Scott Bush, Dr. C. J. Andrus, J. W. Beam, L. M. Doolittle and Edward A. Young, nephews, and Frank A. Norton, her son.

Mrs. Esther T. Norton, nee Bush, was born in Barrington, Yates Co., N. Y., March 15th 1837. Her parents moved to Canadice in 1839, where she lived until her removal to East Bloomfield in 1885. In her early years, Mrs. Norton was an active worker in all departments of the church and when compelled to relinquish her much loved duties because of illness, she continued her ministry from the home. A large yard of flowers at Canadice was in a real sense the property of all, for the blossoms were lavishly distributed and none who asked were refused. For thirty years an invalid, Mrs. Norton revealed the power of a quiet, noble Christian life.

Her departure is mourned by the companion of more than fifty years of happy married life, Asher B. Norton; by a son, Frank A. Norton of Chicago; a brother, Albert T. Bush of Oklahoma; a sister, Mrs. Sara A. Hancock of Hemlock, many other relatives and a host of friends.
