Biography

Cornelia Alice Norris was born in Wake County, North Carolina on August 27, 1857, to Jesse Allen Norris and Amy Ann Adams. Her father was from a wealthy farming family residing in Holly Springs.[1] Her mother's family was from Fuquay-Varina. Her paternal great-grandfather, Pvt. John Norris Jr., was an English colonist who served in the Wake County Militia during the American Revolutionary War.[2][3] Her grandfather, Needham Norris, was a Baptist minister and the owner of the Norris-Holland-Hare House, a Federal-style farmhouse that is the oldest structure in Holly Springs.[3] She was a relative of the journalist Hoke Norris.

In 1879, she married Matthew Tyson Norris, a dry goods merchant and cotton factor who owned and operated a store in downtown Raleigh and a stall at City Market.[4][1] Norris House, a large house on North Blount Street in Raleigh, was given to her in 1879 as a wedding present from her parents.[4][5] Her parents deeded the house exclusively in her name, not her husband's name.[1] The Norrises lived their entire married lives in Raleigh.[1] She and her husband had five children including three daughters.[1]

Norris House on North Blount Street

Norris ran the household and cared for her five children.[1] She was a prominent socialite in Raleigh and the local newspapers detailed accounts of her soirées and fashionable parties at her North Blount Street residence.[1][4]

She was active in various women's organizations including the Ladies Auxiliary of the Young Men's Christian Association. Norris, who was interested in genealogy, was the founding regent of the Caswell-Nash Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.[1][6] She worked as a genealogist in her later years, assisting clients in tracing their ancestry and family history.[1]

She was an active parishioner and Sunday school student at First Baptist Church.[1]

She was widowed on January 16, 1915. Norris died in Raleigh on June 22, 1935.[7] She was buried at Historic Oakwood Cemetery.[7]
