I've "rescued"
an old photograph of W. C. NORTON which was taken at the
E. I. Stearns & Co. Studio in Honesdale, Pennsylvania.
The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's
or 1880's with Mr. NORTON appearing to be in his 20's or
30's at the time. In addition to his name, someone
has written "born Oct 10 1852" on the back of
the photograph. Based on limited research I was able
to locate this family in census records as follows:

that I am have also obtained a photograph of his Grandmother
Harriett NORTON GRENNELL, GRENNELL being her second husband.
I am hoping to locate someone from this NORTON Family so
that this photograph can be returned to the care of the
family. If you are a member of this family, or you
know someone who might be, please contact me.
