Within less than a period of two hours, Wednesday morning, death dealt a swift hand in the claiming of the lives of two well-known Rochester citizens, George NORRIS and Otto SHERBONDY. Both of these gentlemen were about their regular duties of business yesterday and the news of their sudden demise, which was current on the streets of this city shortly before noon today was almost unbelievable.• Funeral, The Rochester News-Sentinel, 11 Feb 1932
George NORRIS, 71, was taken ill at midnight Tuesday and his death occurred at nine o'clock Wednesday morning at his home, 117 West Second Street. Death was due to a heart attack.
George G. [NORRIS], son of George W. and Elizabeth NORRIS, was born on Aug. 13, 1860, in Dayton, Ohio. He came with his parents to Fulton county when a small child and the remainder of his life was spent here. On Dec. 3, 1885, he was married to Martha NORRIS. Mr. Norris followed the occupation of a brick mason and was a member of the Brick Mason Union.
Surviving are his wife; one son Roy [NORRIS], of South Bend; two daughters, Mrs. Albert LESLIE, of South Bend, and Mrs. Harry COLTRAIN, of Los Angeles, Calif.; a sister, Mrs. Charles EMMONS, of Kewanna, and a brother, Frank [NORRIS], of Kankakee, Ill.
