From: Goodspeeds History of Washington County Missouri (1888 Reprint) - Conrad Norwine, a merchant & miller of Fourche a Renault, was born in St. Francois County, Mo., Dec. 25, 1821, & is a son of Conrad & Maria M. (Bische) Norwine, both natives of Germany, & the former of whom, a rope-maker by trade, immigrated to the United States at an early day & made his home in Missouri until his death. In their family were twelve children, only three of whom are now living. Conrad Norwine, subject of this sketch, was reared in his native county, which was his home until 1877, having been engaged in farming, trading & merchandising. Two years previous to his removal to Washington County he purchased his present mill site; he has twice remodeled his mill, the last time in 1887, when it was changed to a roller mill & provided with the best & most improved machinery. It is the best mill in the county, having a capacity of fifty barrels per day, & the quality of the product will compare with any manufactured in the southeastern portion of Missouri. In 1843 Mr. Norwine was married to Miss Eleanor Christopher, a native of Washington County, & a daughter of William Christopher, a native of North Carolina, who settled in Washington County at an early day. Their seven children are named, respectively, William H., Charles, Albert, Andrew J., Samuel C., James J., Willis C. & Rosa L. The latter is now Mrs. William Tillson.
