My Genealogy Hound

NORWOOD, JOSEPH E. (deceased); was for many years engaged in the pork packing business in this city. He was born in Rockport, Mass., 1797, and moved to Quincy at an early day, where he became identified with the interests of the city. He some years ago moved to Chicago with his family. He married Miss Elizabeth J. Francis, in 1851, who was a native of Cambridge, England, born in 1829. They had four children: Florence, Lizzie, Kate and Joseph. Mr. Norwood lost his life in the terrible railroad disaster on the New York and Erie R. R, at Port Jervis, 1867, when so many lives were lost. He was loved and respected by all who knew him. Mrs. Norwood had his remains interred in Quincy, where she removed with her children from Chicago. She is now living on the corner of 9th and Spring. Her husband built and owned the elegant residence now occupied by Mr. Wells, on Jersey street.
