He lived on Ellor Street in Strathroy, with his mother Madeline. \u00a0His father had died previously. \u00a0Thomas was a <a href=\"http:\/\/job-descriptions.careerplanner.com\/Furniture-Finishers.cfm\">hardwood finisher<\/a> to support himself and his mother. It is probable that he was employed at the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Strathroy-Caradoc\">Strathroy Furniture Company<\/a>, which opened in 1896 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.passionforthepastantiques.com\/furniture\/furniture-item\/article\/middlesex-furniture-company-antique-mahogany-china-cabinet\/\">closed in 1992<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thomas was drafted on July 19, 1918.

He was in training in London prior to being sent overseas when he <a href=\"https:\/\/virus.stanford.edu\/uda\/\">contracted influenza pneumonia<\/a> on October 21st. \u00a0A medical card shows his death as October 28th. His grave headstone indicates his death as October 22nd, 1918. It is unknown how his mother supported herself after his death. Many women of this era, who were unable to support themselves, ended up in the\u00a0Strathroy home for the indigent, which was located approximately where the Seasons Community Residence is now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thomas Edgar Norman is buried in the Strathroy Roman Catholic Cemetery, 3 rows back from the roadside fence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3010\" src=\"https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Norman.Thomas.E.1.jpg\" alt=\"norman-thomas-e-1\" width=\"2653\" height=\"4046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Norman.Thomas.E.1.jpg 2653w, https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Norman.Thomas.E.1-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Norman.Thomas.E.1-768x1171.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Norman.Thomas.E.1-671x1024.jpg 671w, https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Norman.Thomas.E.1-36x55.jpg 36w, https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Norman.Thomas.E.1-947x1444.jpg 947w, https:\/\/rememberourvets.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Norman.Thomas.E.1-624x952.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2653px) 100vw, 2653px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Several of Private Norman&#8217;s military records can be seen on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strathroymuseum.ca\/en\/exhibits\/resources\/Strathroy_WW1_List\/Norman_Thomas_Edgar.pdf\">Strathroy Museum website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#3134500 Private Thomas Edgar Norman was born on November 17, 1882, and was 35 years old when he was drafted under the Military Service Act of 1917.
