Abstract
SIR FREDERICK NORMAN, who died on March 17 at Runcorn, was one of those pioneers of applied science whose life was devoted to his work and to local affairs. He was difficult to know intimately: always pleasant, well-informed and interesting, he was a man of high character and had very great local influence, particularly as a Cheshire magistrate and as chairman of the Runcorn Bench. He suffered a severe loss at the end of the Great War in the death of his only child, Stanley, a young chemist of very great promise. He was a man of great generosity to local institutions and lent a helpful hand to very many in all stations of life.
