When Norman was born, his father wanted to name him William. But his mother insisted that there were too many Williams in the family, and so they named him Norman with no middle name. From his childhood until she died, Anna called him "Billy." It wasn't until he was in high school that he learned his real name. He started using his real name, Norman, when he moved to California. In Indiana, New York, and New Jersey, he is still known as Bill or Billy. He was at one time a Baptist.

From her obituary:

In Memory of Mrs. Viva Buck Swindell Who Passed Away on May 13, 1900.

Mrs. Viva Buck Swindell, daughter of Mrs. George E. Grant, was born Aug. 6, 1873, in Alexandria, Ind., died May 13, 1900, aged 26 years, 9 months and 7 days. She was married to Thomas E. Swindell Aug. 12, 1890 [this date is incorrect]. Two children were born to them, a daughter and a son.

Again the death angel has entered a home and taken a loved one from us. A light has gone out, a chair is vacant, a voice to us is stilled forever, we will look and listen for her coming but she will return no more. And while we are summoning all our strength and faith to say, "Thy will be done," we know our lives will be broader, our aspirations higher, for she whom we have loved in life is beckoning upward.

Vivi [sic] was called in the bloom of womanhood, just when the days were the longest and the sun shone the brightest for her, but "He, who doeth all things well," knows best, and, though our hearts throb with pain and sorrow, we bow in submission to His will. She was an exemplary daughter, a loyal loving wife and mother, a faithful attendant of the Christian church and Sunday school and to know her was to love her. From childhood she lived a pure, simple, trusting life.

Last January that dreaded disease, consumption, fastened itself upon her, and for five short months she lingered, hopeful until a few days before her death. When she realized she must die she said, "Oh, I am not afraid, I am willing, but it is the separation from my family." She talked freely and was resigned and happy, and while singing that beautiful song, "Jesus Lover of my Soul," Vivi's spirit went from us.

Yes, it is well. She has gone from us, from our poor care, our human fallacy, straight to the Master's care, the Sheperd's love, blessed are they whose training is above! She will live in heaven, will know no more the conflicts that attend our life below; she shall walk with Christ himself in glory; she shall talk with sinless ones, and her ear no sound discourdant, no harsh word shall hear. Nay, but we have no words with which to tell how well it is with her--how well, how well.³⁸

257. Mary⁹ McPherson. Per Liz Hastings Castro, she was born in 1700 in Virginia. If this is accurate, then the dates of her oldest children's births are inaccurate and the marriage date listed on the IGI is more likely accurate.

She was not listed in "An Account of Sales of the Goods and Chattles of John Swindell, Sr." after John died intestate. The authors of High Tides presume that she had either died prior to John or that she was so advanced in years that she was living with one of her children and had no need for any of the household items.²⁹⁰
