Spent her life on the home farm until 1902 when she moved to Coshocton, OH.

Coshocton Daily Age (Coshocton Co., OH.) 11/26/1909

Lived at the corner of Vine St. & South Lawn Ave., Coshocton, OH. at the time of her death.

I am somewhat mystified by Charity. No where can I find her listed as a child of Jebez and Nancy Reed Norman, other than a newspaper article telling of a visit by her brothers in the Democratic Standard (Coshocton Co., OH.) dated 10/16/1896 and The Rootsweb website (Norman-Kirkpatrick-Mitchell April 2005 Edition. I do not find her on the Norman Genealogy Website hosted by Steve Norman, which is a pretty complete Norman site with the exception it has not been updated since 1999.
