Lealand Norvell dies in Topeka hospital
Lealand Norvell, 31, husband of Mary Lucile Norvell and father of two daughters, died of pneumonia at Christ Hospital in Topeka Kansas after a brief illness. He worked on the Topeka Avenue bridge with a crew of steel workers, and his death halted production for a day. His funeral at the Methodist church drew a large crowd, with schoolmates and relatives acting as pallbearers and honorary bearers. He is survived by his parents, two brothers, a sister, and many relatives. The remains were returned to his parents’ home in Topeka for services.
