Thrift, energy and economy have characterized the labors of I. H. Norman, who is today the owner of two
hundred and eighty-three acres of well improved and valuable land situated in Lafayette and White Eyes
townships. He was born on the farm which is now his home, October 27, 1860, a son of Daniel and Mary J.
(Karnes) Norman, both of whom were born in Coshocton county. The father was a self-made man and through his
well directed labors accumulated a valuable farm property, comprising three hundred acres. Both he and
his wife are now deceased, the father dying in October, 1880, the mother in February, 1881. Their family numbered six children: Elizabth and Isabel, both of whom have passed away; I.H., of this review; Levi, who has also departed this life; Asbury, who makes his home in Lafayette township; and Nettie, who has departed this life.
I.H. Norman, whose name introduces this review, was educated in the common schools and was reared on the
old homestead farm, beginning his independent business career at the age of twenty years. He is now the owner of two hundred and eighty-three acres of land, one hundred acres of which is located Lafayette township and one hundred and eighty-three acres in White Eyes township. He is here engaged in general agricultural pursuits and raises stock on quite an extensive scale. He deserves great credit for what he has accomplished in a business way, for all that he today possesses has been acquired through his own labors and well directed effort.
Mr. Norman was married in 1881, the lady of his choice being Miss Amanda Pope, who was born in Coshocton
county, a daughter of Jerry and Sarah (Reed) Pope, and one of a family of eight children. The parents were
also natives of the Buckeye state and now reside in Coshocton county. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Norman
has been blessed with four children, one daughter and three sons, namely: Bird May, the wife of Robert
Swagart, of Coshocton county; Henry C., Clarence H. and Fred Foraker, all at home.
Mr. Norman's study of the political questions and issues of the day has led him to give his support to
the republican party and he has been called by his fellow townsmen to fill some township offices, serving
as trustee for two terms and he has also served as supervisor. He is a member of the Grange and he and
his wife attend and support the United Brethren church. Having spent their entire lives in this county
both Mr. and Mrs. Norman are well known and they enjoy the hospitality of many of the best homes of this
section, while the business methods of Mr. Norman are such as command for him the highest regard.
