Husband of Mrs S A Norris, Banana, Queensland
Residents learnt with deep regret of the death in Mount Morgan Hospital on Sun day last of Mr Frank Norris. Deceased, who had been ailing for some time, was a returned soldier and was one of the earliest settlers here. He secured the block on which the hotel and several business places now stand. He is survived by his widow.
