Forrest Chester Norwood, a well known and respected resident of Riverdale, passed away at his home,101 Wheeler street,this morning at 5 o'clock after a few weeks illness, at the age of 49 years, 4 months. Mr. Norwood was seized with an ill turn while at work about four weeks ago, his condition becoming such that he was removed to the Carney hospital, Boston for treatment. He returned home and a few days ago was stricken with a shock from which he failed to recover. The deceased was the son of John and Elizabeth Ann (Day) Norwood, both of Riverdale. He was born in the old Norwood homestead where he resided until his death. He was twice married, his first wife being Geneva Lynch of this city, who passed away some 22 years ago. He later married Lillian E. Wilkins of Stewardstown, N.H., by who he is survived, also a son, Henry Norwood of the U.S. Navy, two daughters, Helen, wife of John Love and Gertrude, wife of Albert Brant, both of this city, children of the former union; and an adopted daughter, Shirley Norwood and one brother, Charles A. Norwood, the contractor and builder.
Mr. Norwood was a man well known and liked by all in the community, where his many acts of kindness and unselfish devotion to others will always be remembered. He was a carpenter by trade and for many years was in business with Archie Wheeler of Wheeler's Point, under the firm name of Wheeler & Norwood. A few years ago, the partnership dissolved and since that time he has been in partnership with Herbert Boynton of this village. He was a workman of rare ability and being naturally mechanically inclined, could turn his hand to many different branches of work.
