FAULKNER I. NORTON.
The subject of this sketch was prominently identified with the
business interests of Fremont. He was born in Cam-bridge,
Washington county, New York, Mar. 2, 1811. He left home at
the age of thirteen years and began clerking in Keysville, New
York, and afterwards learned the saddle and harness making trade
in Saratoga county. He came to Ohio and settled in Lower

large brick building on Arch street was erected by him for that
purpose. Mr. Norton died Nov. 4, 1878.
