Curtis M. Axell 200 Lakeside Drive #303 Oakland, California 94612-3530 Esther Trosow 871 Alice Street #3 Monterey CA, 93940 Dear Ms. Trosow: The information I have concerning Mary Edna Burleigh Norton is substantially what you already have. As you know she was the daughter of Gould Gift Norton, b. 1800 and Mary Hyde and was named for her mother and also given the names of her great-grandmother, Edna Burleigh. Her siblings included Orlo W. Norton (1825-1898) Emma (no dates) who apparently married Ogden Youngs, Henry Brace Norton (1836-1885) and Gould Hyde Norton (d. 1898). I have a typewritten"Biographical Facts and Notes Concerning Mary Edna Burleigh Norton" which is unsigned and, as far as I know unpublished. It seemed important that you have it in its entirety so I have copied it as an attachment. I know most about Mary E.B.Norton's younger brother, H.B. Norton who married Marion Goodrich in 1864 or 1865. They had five children, Hyde (Harry) Norton, Daisy (b. 1869)Jessie (b. 1872, d 1961). Mae, and Paul. Jessie married my uncle, John Albert Axell, in 1911. They had no children but seemed to provide a haven for various relatives over the nearly fifty years they lived at 273 Page Street in San Francisco (now a Zen Guest House - which would be quite a surprise to Jessie and Albert. Jessie's father, as you also know, was educated at the Illinois State Normal School (graduating in 1861 at a commencement ceremony - only the second for the school - at which he read or recited"England expects every man to do his duty")., Prof. Norton taught there and later at the Kansas State Normal School where his sister Maryjoined him in teaching as she later did at San Jose State Normal Schooh'On the Kansas campus a science building was dedicated to Prof. Norton some 15 years after his death at which ceremony his poetry was read and the principal PAV€> speaker was'Ehenmer Starr Jordan, president, at that time, of Stanford University. I do not know if Mary or Prof Norton's widow, Marion, attended. Prof. Norton was respected as a scientist. I have one of his articles published in the Popular Science Monthly of October 1879 entitled The age of ice which discusses cyclical changes in weather. He was, I believe, working on a study of California insects, particularly in view of their relevance to damage to crops, at the time of his death. * *6'€ 1&44 1, 6,40 02- 64¢6!Ls c* cbkta32 -Ikul, , OCR Text: Curtis M.
