Found in The State 16 March 1914: Life of Service to Others Ended---Mrs. Louisa R. Norris, Widow of Late Rev. Pope Norris, Dies in Columbia.
Mrs. Louisa R. Norris, relict of the late Rev. A. Pope Norris, died yesterday morning at the home of her nephew, P. N. Timmerman, 1015 Henderson street. A host of relatives and friends in many parts of South Carolina and elsewhere will be saddened by the death of this estimable woman, who had reached a mature age and whose long life was one of unselfish devotion to the pleasure and happiness of others. Her gentle Christian character and her intelligent and sympathetic interest in all those with whom she came in contact endeared her to a long list of friends in this city, which was her home during the later years of her life. Her late husband was a well known minister of the Baptist church, serving many churches in South Carolina. Mrs. Norris is survived by three daughters, Miss Georgia Norris of the faculty of the Greenville Female college, Miss Louisa R. Norris of Columbia and Mrs. Foster Fant of Anderson; by one son, Jas. P. Norris of Columbia; by two orphaned grandchildren, Kirk Robinson of Greenville and Mrs. Louisa R. Runnion of Birmingham; and by two half-brothers, Dr. W. T. Brooker of Swansea and N. W. Brooker of Columbia. She was a sister of the late Judge James Head of Louisiana and of the late Mrs. Georgia E. Timmerman of Ridge Spring.
