    • Norman found out he had lung cancer during the summer of 1958. After he attended Bibe Nicholas' funeral, Norman told some of the relatives that "Uncle Bide looked so peaceful....I want to join him".... and that night, he went to the front yard and used a shotgun on himself!

      Died at about 11:30 p.m.
