to end his life Monday at his home, 809 La porte avenue, according to the verdict rendered to-day by
Coroner T. J. Swants. Mr. Norton was found dead in bed at noon yesterday by his wife, death being
due to gas which was escaping from the opened gas jet in his bedroom. Mr.
Norton had been accustomed to sleeping late and Mrs. Norton did not enter the
room until she went upstairs with the intention of waking him. She smelled gas before reaching the room
and upon discovering her husband, immediately called a physician, but the man had apparently been
dead for some time. He is survived by his wife, Vinnia, two children,
Mrs. Walter Soott of South Bend, and Mrs. Harry Reymore, of Cheyenne, Wyo. a brother,
Z. Norton, of this city, and two sisters: Mrs. Anna McGlinsey and Mrs. Emma Hooley,
