Obituary Rockville Republican, September 20, 1893 "Mrs. Nancy Hatfield - Norman, widow of Wm. Norman, deceased, and one of the oldest settlers of Union Township, departed this life Sept. 11, 1893, aged 79 years, 11 months and 21 days.

She was a native of Butler County Ohio. Her father, George Hatfield, was a native of Virginia. The mother, Rachel Bell, was born in the state of New Jersey. The father and mother were blessed with nine children, all reaching years of maturity, but now deceased with the exception of two.

The deceased, in the year 1832, was united in wedlock to Wm. Norman of Kentucky, who died in 1866, aged 59 years, 5 months and 4 days. To them were born eight children, of whom five are living and three are dead.

Grandma Norman, as she was commonly called, was converted in early life, united with the church and lived a life of Christian graces, well worthy of our greatest respect and imitation, until death peacefully removed her from labor to reward. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Daniel S. Kalley at Otterbein Church Sept. 12, 1893. Truly it can be said of this aged mother in Israel, as the funeral text read, she 'came to her grave in a full age like a shock of corn come in his season.

In conclusion, as our heartfelt thoughts seem to linger, may we unite in the prayer of Moses, the man of God, in saying 'So teach us, dear Savior, to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom, and like the loved one just gone before us, ever be watching and waiting and ready to exclaim 'Thy will be done.'"
