L.A. Herald, Dec. 4, 1912 - "...Hey, I found it. L.A. Herald, Dec. 4, 1912 - "Bernard E. Norton of Wilcox(sic), Ariz., died last evening at 10:30 o'clock at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Milton B. Huston, 1453 West Forty-sixth street. The death was due to sudden paralysis. Mr Norton, who was a brother of the late John Hubert Norton of Los Angeles, owned an immense cattle ranch sixty miles from Wilcox and came to Los Angeles to be with his daughter. He has passed much of his life in Los Angeles and has a host of friends here. <br />The funeral services will be held at Bresee Brothers' in South Figueroa street, Friday morning."<br />Thank You!<br />Bob MarloweBob Marlowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570529455891203205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654456065204837325.post-63406661572915618772016-04-22T06:45:40.336-07:002016-04-22T06:45:40.336-07:00@Bob Marlowe I believe Bernard was a younger broth...@Bob Marlowe I believe Bernard was a younger brother, b. 1848, and residing in Graham Cy, AZ (but visiting the Norton residence) at the time of his death.

Besides working on the overall history of Los Angeles, I do walking tours of LA's forgotten Wild West days of the 1850's and 1860's (which lasted until the last train robberies in the Valley in the 1890's) along with compiling all the stores of all many Westerners who moved to LA.Brady Westwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324741206315152948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654456065204837325.post-2507687673157496482011-10-05T14:01:29.383-07:002011-10-05T14:01:29.383-07:00Anonymous, thanks for your generous offer.

It still exists on it's original site, behind the 1937 Delta Delta Delta facade. If you go behind you can still see the original structure. From the front the tower with cap, front door, and arch are still visible. Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
