S.A. NORMAN was born September 14, 1850, in Humphreys County, Tenn., and
is the son of Simpson A. and Elizabeth (Van Hook) Norman, both natives 
of Tennessee.  The father is a farmer, and is still living in his native
county and State; the mother died in 1860, aged thirty-two years.  S.A.
Norman is the fourth child of a family of seven children, and remained
with his parents until eighteen years of age, when he came to Graves
County, and engaged as a farm laborer.  Later he farmed a place on
shares, at which he was reasonably successful.  In 1880 he was appointed
deputy sheriff of the county, and served in that capacity until 1881,
at which time he gave up the office, in order to settle up a large
estate, estimated at $75,000.  With this affair, Mr. Norman demonstrated
unusual business tact, collecting over $34,000, all of which was promptly
paid over and accounted for.  He bought his present farm of 221 acres
in 1881, and is now one of the substantial agriculturists in the county.
He was married January 1, 1874, to Miss N.C. Dunbar, of Graves County.
Four children bless this union, Marion C., Edna E., Charley and 
Margaret E.  Politically Mr. Norman is identified with the Democrat
Party.
