Norton and wife were passengers on last Saturday en route to Dry Valley in Carter County on the sad mission of attending the funeral of ‘Aunt' Mary Ann Griffen, and old pioneer and highly respected citizen of this area, whose death occurred the day previously at the advanced age of 89 and whose death occurred from the infirmities of old age. Mr. Norton made his home for a considerable length of time in the family of Mrs. Griffen. - THE CURRENT WAVE - JOHN P. NORTON OF WINONA Tuesday morning marked the passing of one of Shannon County's most pioneer citizens, John P. Norton, living some three miles northeast of Winona. It was on this same farm the deceased settled more than 60 years ago, reared his family of 6 sons and 3 daughters, all of whom survive but one son and one daughter; and the mother of the original household unto whom 8 of the children were born. Early history of Shannon County records the name of John P. Norton and his brothers, one of which was sheriff-collector and John P. as Judge, back in the 80s when the former offices were combined, and there was only one Judge. As a member of the Masonic Lodge of the old type, Mr. Norton traveled to Van Buren some 25 to 30 miles by horse to be in attendance, later helping to form the Winona Lodge where he attended regularly up until his advanced age prevented. Short funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon from the home by the Winona Lodge followed by procession to the Clark Cemetery near Low Wassie where interment was made in the family plot, conducted by the Masonic Order. A large congregation of relatives and friends paid their last tribute to the deceased in condolence to the bereaved widow, sons and daughters who were all present. - SHANNON COUNTY DEMOCRAT -- JUDGE JOHN P. NORTON PASSES AWAY Jno. P. Norton, 88 years of age, and familiarly known to his host of friends as ‘Judge' and ‘Uncle John' passed away at his home on Sycamore, about the middle of the forenoon on Tuesday of this week. Having been in very poor health during several years Mr. Norton continually grew weaker and suffered his first serious affliction in October of 1932 when he had a light stroke. From that time he had poor use of his organs of speech and grew more feeble. On Saturday before his passing he became noticeably weaker and continued to a very low state until the death angel claimed him. Mr. Norton is the last of a large family of brothers and sisters, all of whom were of considerable prominence in this county since early manhood. He was a wonderfully fine gentleman of the hospitable type whose residence graced the Ozark region, and those whose home and assistance were always ready for the needy. He served Shannon County as Judge of the county court several terms, continually bearing the reputation of a faithful, conscientious and efficient servant of the populace. As one of the most active and worthy members of the Masonic Order he is remembered by his remaining brothers. During his days of activity no weather was ever too rough nor the distance too great for him to attend the meetings of lodge or go to the aid of a brother.
