"Brother Jonathan O. Norwood, an octogenarian, was born March 24, 1799, in South Carolina, and died at his residence the 25th day of October 1887 from cancer of the face.  Brother Norwood might be called one of the pioneers of Lawrence County, having come here in 1824, where he lived until called home by his Master.  In 1826, he married Priscilla Atkinson and to whom were born 10 children when the partner of his joys and sorrows died.  In 1876 he married Mrs. Elkins, to whom was born one child.  His second wife and seven children are now living.  Brother Norwood became a Christian in the year 1870 and so lived and died.  His life was exemplary and Christian like: and his virtues should be emulated by both young and old who knew him.  It is not claimed that he was perfect; he like others, had his faults.  He bore his long and painful illness with Christian resignation and though physically blind for many years, death, the rift in the clouds, has restored his vision and disclosed to him the glories of the bright hereafter.  His friends and children should not mourn his loss; but strive to meet him beyond the 'dark'."
