The Courier-Journal 5 Nov 1902

"A telegram from Albuquerque, N. M., was received in this city last night from Mr. E. Barry Norman, secretary and manager of the Norman Lumber Company, saying that his wife, Mrs. Mabel Colgan Norman, died at that place yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Although Mrs. Norman had been in failing health for a long time and it was feared that her illness would result seriously, her death will come as a profound shock to her friends in Louisville.

Her condition became so much worse several weeks ago that Mrs. Norman's physicians advised that she be taken to New Mexico, in order that the change of climate might be of some benefit to her.

She was take to Hot Springs, N. M., and later to Albuquerque, where she was joined by her husband about ten days ago. She grew steadily worse, however, and passed away yesterday afternoon.

As Miss Mabel Colgan, Mrs. Norman was one of Louisville's most beautiful and popular society girls. Her character and disposition were beautiful and she was loved and admired by all who knew her.

Six years ago she was married to Mr. Norman, to whom her death will come as an almost unbearable blow. Besides her husband, she is survived by two children, the elder of which is four years and the younger two.

Mrs. Norman was the daughter of Mr. John Colgan, president of the Colgan Gum Company, and a sister of Messrs. William T. and Henry C. Colgan.

The remains will be brought to this city and will probably reach here Friday morning. The funeral arrangements will be announced later."
