September was a corpse. Seven of the nurses who accompanied him also died of the fever. His remains rest in the National Cemetery at Chattanooga, as per special order of the Secretary of War.

Dr. Norris was a member of the school-board of Chattanooga, city physician, member of the Tennessee State Medical Society, the Hamilton County Medical Society, and honorary member of the Delaware County Medical Society of Ohio; a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society of his alma mater; a member of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Tennessee, and many others— all of which, with the city councils, passed resolutions of condolence with his parents and of respect to his memory.

Dr. J. II. Van Deman has in press a carefully prepared memoir of Dr. Norris. Although this is a conspicuous case of great heroism from a sense of duty on the part of a physician, and inviting to the writer to portray nobility of character exhibited by medical men in the late epidemic, I will close this notice, and with the profession await the promised publication by the Doctor's partner and literary executor, who has furnished the few facts given.
