[p. 586] one of New Castle's successful young physicians and surgeons, with convenient offices on the second floor of the M. H. Henderson Block, on the corner of Washington and Mercer Streets, was born in this city, October 28, 1871, and is a son of Charles P. and Elizabeth (Roberts) Norris.
Charles P. Norris is a highly respected retired resident of New Castle. For many years he conducted a furniture business here and during the years of his activity he was a representative citizen.
Dr. Norris obtained a public school education at New Castle and later attended the Edinboro State Normal School. In 1892 he entered old Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia and was graduated from that noted institution in 1896, being for a part of his course a special student under Drs. Kyle and Da Costa, who were eminent scientific specialists connected with St. Agnes', Blockley and Jefferson Hospitals. Dr. Norris spent a year in these hospitals and annually goes back to take post-graduate courses, during these periods of from six weeks to two months enjoying advantages for scientific investigation which he could scarcely hope to obtain elsewhere. Dr. Norris practiced for three years at Hillsville before coming to New Castle in 1902. He is an enterprising and progressive member of his profession and in his practice makes use of the latest discoveries in medical science. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias and is surgeon of the Fourth Regiment Uniform Rank of the order, with the rank of major.
