She was born in Martinsburg, Berkely Co., WV, youngest daughter of George Stum and Emma [maiden name unknown]. She died in the Naval hospital in Balboa, then Panama Canal Zone.
Her husband was Capt. Robert James Norman [US Navy, ret'd]. He's a fairly distant [6th and 7th] cousin of mine. You google up any number of references to Robert's military career, but only the local newspaper offers much about Bob and Agnes' family life -- although the paper almost always spelled her maiden name wrong.
