PAGE 257
JOSEPH H. NORMAN, farmer and stock-raiser, was born in this township October
8, 1839, and is the sixth of the eight children of James and Sarah A.
(Harrison) Norman, the former a native of North Carolina, the latter of
Tennessee, both of Irish descent. James Norman emigrated to this county in
1831; then returned to Tennessee for three years, when he came back to this
county and finished his days; he was possessed of 320 acres of land. His
wife survives him and resides with the subject of this sketch. Joseph H.
was reared a farmer, and has a good farm, embracing ninety-six acres, well
cultivated and with stock and improvements. March 28, 1861, he married Miss
Ruth Kemp, a native of this county, which union has been fruitful of five
children--George W., Robert C., Harriet V., Samuel A. and Edward. Mr.
Norman received some aid in the beginning of his career, but has succeeded
by means of his will and management. He is a good husband, father and
citizen, an unchangeable Democrat, and with his wife, a valued member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
