HOMER K. NORCROSS

Homer K. Norcross, public accountant, with offices at 900-901-902-903 Forum building, is one of Sacramento’s leading experts in his special line of work, in which he has met with gratifying success. He was born September 14, 1892, in Glendora, Los Angeles county, California, and there attended grammar school. He continued his studies in the Church of the Brethren School at La Verne, California, and in business colleges at Pomona and Seattle. Thereafter he spent two years as an instructor in the Church of the Brethren School at La Verne and then entered the University of California at Berkeley. On leaving the latter institution he taught for a short time in the Mackay Business College of Los Angeles, after which he accepted a position in the accounting department of the H. Jevne Company of Los Angeles and later was with the Walter Armacost Floral Company of that city. Thence he went to Colusa, where he remained as head of the commercial department of the Colusa Union high school for six years and also did public accounting. In 1927 Mr. Norcross opened his accounting office in Sacramento and has been more than ordinarily successful, having won a large and representative clientele and gained high prestige as an accountant.

Mr. Norcross was united in marriage to Miss Tessie M. Dunbill, a native of California, and they are the parents of a daughter, Morley Bell, aged six years. Mr. Norcross is a member of the Kiwanis Club and is well known in the leading circles of Sacramento, being exceedingly popular among his associates.
