NORWOOD OBITUARIES

LUCINDA LARWOOD NORWOOD -  "Death, that grim monster, the leveler of all classes has again invaded our community and claimed for his victim, Mrs. Lucinda Norwood, wife of Uncle Billie Norwood.  She died October 17th at 4 o'clock pm, aged 83 years, and was buried at Oak Grove, Tackett's Branch.  She was a devout christian and has only entered into rest.  As a wife, she was kind and gentle, as a mother, patient and loving, as a friend and neighbor, trusty and faithful.  She leaves a large circle of relatives and friends.  They have our tenderest sympathy."                    Shannon, Tennessee.  (Pulaski Citizen, 24 October 1889, reprinted in "Three Score and Ten" column, dated 9 Nov 1977)
 

WILLIAM NORWOOD - "died in Giles County, Tenn., October 18, 1891.  Brother Norwood was born July 1, 1804, in Union District, S. C., and migrated to Lincoln County, Tenn., with his parents when he was quite small, and could justly be called a pioneer of Tennessee.  He was the father of nine children, the grandfather of seventy-one, the great-grandfather of twenty-nine.  He has been a faithful member of the Methodist Church for sixty years.  His connection was temporarily broken through our war.  Brother Norwood outlived his wife just two years.  Just before he left us he resigned his jewel to the Master in a beautiful prayer, stepped aboard the old ship of Zion and left us."
