Noiiton.ÑMrs. Asa Norton, who died May 20, 1900, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. D. N. Beebe, on Gold street, Grand Rapids, was among the oldest women alive in Michigan, having been born in 1809, three years before the war of 1812. Her native state was Connecticut. When 19 years old she married and came to Michigan. After a brief residence at Plymouth Mr. aud Mrs. Norton went to Cooper, near Plain- well, where they established the tavern so well known to the old settlers who traveled the old stage road between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.
Fire destroyed the building in 18G8, and they moved to Dorr, where they lived until Mr. Norton died in 1885. Since then Mrs. Norton had lived with her daughter in Grand Rapids. Five of her nine children survive her, Edward Norton, of Fort Scott, Ark.; Mrs. C. M. Belcher, of Ann Arbor, Mich.; Frank aud Fred Norton, and Mrs. D. N. Beebe of the Valley City.
