[edit] Memories about John Burke Norton

• Thomas Patrick Norton (1920- ) writes: "My dad never understood why John Burke Norton died, he was a perfect baby coming out of the hospital and he died of blood poisoning when he was just 6 weeks old. The family theory was that they stuck him with a pin when they were changing his diaper at the hospital. I remember touching his hand during the wake that was held in our house."
