ELIZABETH ("LIZZIE") HOGG SHERMAN NORTON (1837-1862) was born in Ohio to John and Margaret Hogg Sherman. She died at the age of 25 of "perils of childbirth" and was first buried in the yard of Myron K. Drew, then along with her infant son, Charles Lester Norton who died later the same year, was reinterred in Woodlawn Cemetery in 1864.
Lizzie was second cousin to General W. T. Sherman (think: march to the sea).
Lizzie was the first wife of Senator Daniel Sheldon Norton, a maverick Republican senator who tended to vote with the Democrats on matters of national policy. During
the impeachment and trial of President Andrew Johnson in 1868, the Minnesota legislature directed Norton to vote for Johnson's removal but Norton was one of eight Republicans who broke ranks with the party and voted against conviction. Johnson remained in office by a single vote. Norton died in office two years later.
