Marker Text	Jasper County pioneer Ehud Norsworthy purchased 405 acres of land at this site in 1859. With his wife, Sara, and children, he established a homestead which included a house, barn, smokehouse, well, tool shed, and outhouse. After Norsworthy's death in 1864, Sara married Confederate veteran Edwin Irwin Kellie, and they continued to live on the homestead with their family. Kellie founded the "Jasper News-Boy" newspaper and later became a riverboat captain. the homestead, named "Glorianna" by Kellie, was abandoned by the family about 1900.
