Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lineage and Biographies of the Norris Family in America From 1640-1892: With References to the Norrises of England as Early as 1311 A well prepared book of genealogy and biographies is of great value because of its relation to local and general history, and it preserves a vast amount of information which otherwise would be lost. Lands and homes are located and described, the manners of life of bygone generations are delineated, and they who have long been sleeping are, by the published records of their lives, made familiar acquaintances of the present generation. The life-history, with the toils, struggles, sacrifices of our predecessors is made known to those of the present, for their benefit and loyal appreciation. The fathers and mothers of the long ago, live again in their descendants. My task is over. They who have kindly furnished me information and records of themselves or others, have my sincere thanks. They who from any cause neglected my oft repeated and urgent request to impart desired knowledge, may, when too late, regret their indifference. I experienced considerable difficulty in securing a sufficient number of subscribers in the Norris family to liquidate the expense of publication, not to mention the expense of prepara tion, of this book. At this critical juncture Hon. Lyman Decatur Norris, of Grand Rapids, Mich., very wisely and generously aided in a substantial manner, and made sure the publication of this work. To him I, with every member of the Norris Family, am greatly indebted for his generosity and aid in the preservation of this family history.
