Mrs.
Cornelia Norris, wife of Professor Norris, of Wabash College, died on yesterday
afternoon after a sickness of ten days. Mrs. Norris was the daughter of
Thomas C. and Grace Munns, of Oxford, Ohio. She was born February 22nd
1845, and was in her thirty-eighth year. She was a graduate of the Oxford
Female Seminary, and was a fine Hebrew scholar, having had careful training in
this branch under Dr. Buchanan, President of the Oxford Seminary. In her
17th year she united with the Methodist church of Oxford of which she remained
a member till 1877, when she united by letter with Center Presbyterian church
of Crawfordsville. On December 16th 1875 she was married to Professor
Norris, and in 1876 they moved to Crawfordsville where today a large circle of
friends mourn her death and sympathize with the husband, mother, sister and two
little girls in their great loss. The remains were taken to Oxford Ohio
this morning and were accompanied by Profs. Coulter and Campbell. The
interment will take place Thursday. The students in a body escorted the
remains to the depot where they formed a line, removing their hats as the train
moved out, thus expressing sympathy for the professor in his bereavement
