John G. Norton of Clough Avenue, died suddenly Monday night, September 5, of heart failure. He had just been away on a vacation of a couple of weeks and had just resumed his duties at the office of the National Acme Company's plant here in Windsor.
He was born in Canaan, Conn., on September 29, 1869, The son of P. H. and Sarah L. (Jones) Norton, coming to Vermont in 1889 as assistant treasurer of the Vermont Construction Company, afterwards being Association Press Correspondent and in various capacities at the State House at Montpelier and as clerk of the Draft Board was very efficient.
He served in the Spanish American war as sergeant major of the 1st Vermont Infantry, and was afterwards Colonel on the staff of Governor J. G. McCollough.
He is survived by a wife, who was Miss Mabel Reynolds, and by an infant son and daughter; also by two brothers, Paul J. of Springfield, Mass., and Henry L. of Montpelier, Vt.
Services were held at his home on Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock and the burial was in Ascutney cemetery with Masonic and military honors.
Col. Norton came to Windsor in the spring of 1920 and entered the office of the National Acme Company in a clerical capacity. Among his other duties he handled the affairs of the Mutual Benefit Association and was the editor at Windsor of the " Namco Eagle", a post which he filled in a highly efficient manner because of his natural sense of humor and training in newspaper work. It is saying all too little to state that his jovial presence will be sadly missed, both in the office a, in the town and throughout the state.
