Note(s)
Along that length of Grand Avenue from [12th Street] to the Missouri River are but two before-the-war houses. One of these is the dilapidated frame structures [sic] on the west side of the avenue at [6th Street], now tenanted by Negroes, and the old Norton house--a frame house on the east side of the avenue north of [3rd Street], where Dr. Joshua Norton died in 1860, but this house has retrograded even too far for colored occupancy, and is now uninhabited. Mrs. Norton was one of the company that sat in the parlor of the Barkley house at the church organization previously mentioned, and was the last surviving member of this church, having but recently died [around 1911].
