    Notes:

    KITCHENER - Ruth Norton, widow of a soda merchant, died in 1944 and left a mystery behind.

    She's the last registered owner of a weedy strip of vacant land beside a planned rail transit line on Charles Street East. ....The narrow strip between Borden Avenue and King Street seems no prize today. It's at the heart of a partly derelict block. It does not have its own address, sitting between 530 and 534 Charles St. E. Shuttered businesses, boarded homes and for sale signs abound.

    A century ago, it was a far more productive site, home to the small but recognized Norton Drinx soda business, a peer to prominent local industries.....
