Canadice, N. Y. - The community was saddened on Sunday morning to learn that James E. Norget had passed away at 2:30 o’clock, after a brief illness of pneumonia. Mr. Norget had not been strong for some time, having suffered from hardening of the arteries, and that combined with low vitality caused his death, after a week’s illness, in spite of thorough treatment and loving care.
Mr. Norget was born on June 7, 1843, in Tunstead, Norfolk Co., England, and came with his family to this country in 1852 and settled in Richmond. He was one of eight children of John and Hannah Thirtle Norget, five of whom are still living.
On Nov. 27, 1877, he married Miss Emily E. Doolittle of Canadice, and had since made his home here.
Mr. Norget was known as a kind neighbor and friend by the people of this town and will be greatly missed, especially in the church, where he was a regular attendant. A large circle of friends mourn with the wife and three children, who are: Mrs. E. W. Hargrave, of Wyoming; Mrs. G. W. Deal of Allens Hill, and Dr. L. E. Norget of Henrietta. There are also six grandchildren, James, Edward and Francis Hargrave and Emily, Elsie and Asa Deuel; and five brothers, G. W. Norget of Maple Rapids, Mich., R. J. and C. J. Norget of Flint, Mich., and J. J. and E. J. Norgate of Richmond; all of whom were present at the funeral, which was held from the Canadice church on Tuesday. Rev. W. J. Brown assisted by Rev. R. C. Grames and Rev. R. E. Wilson officiated. The brothers and brothers-in-law acted as bearers. Interment was made in Canadice cemetery.
James E. Norget was buried in the Canadice Corners Cemetery in Canadice NY.
