Stornoway Gazette, March 1917
We regret to announce the death of Norman Maclean, late seaman RNR, which occurred at his home in North Bragar after a short illness. Deceased had been some time in foreign waters. Unassuming and of a quiet disposition, he was a fine specimen of a Lewis sailor, standing well over 6 feet tall and proportionally built. Much sympathy is felt for his widowed mother and sister.
