"No citizen of Pine Bluff," wrote the Pine Bluff Commercial , was loved by more people than Dr. J. I. Norris, who died early today. Dr. Norris was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, but was a minister to mankind. He was the friend of all who suffered, and one rarely finds a man who so nearly emulated the One Perfect Man who suffered and died to save others. "For seventeen years Dr. Norris had been a resident of Pine Bluff. During that time he ministered to men, women, and children, regardless of race, color or religious faith. Each Sunday he preached wonderful sermons to the members of his church and to others who attended the services.
