At the time of his death he was surrounded by his loving family. Services will be held at 2 p.m. MDT Friday at Peace Church, New Salem, with the Rev. Darrel Aleson officiating. Burial will be in Peace Cemetery, New Salem. Visitation will begin at 9 a.m. today at Buehler-Larson Funeral Home, New Salem, and will continue one hour before services at the church. Bert was born May 7, 1916, on a farm three miles south of New Salem, the son of Harley and Emma (Zarndt) Norton. He spent his early life on the home farm and received his education in New Salem. He worked for farmers and ranchers throughout the area and spent some time in the Civilian Conservation Corps and on the West Coast. He returned to the home farm, and in 1936 Bert and his brothers began mining coal. In 1939, Bert took over the family farm. On Jan. 1, 1942, he married Louise Weiss at the Evangelical and Reformed Church in New Salem. Bert farmed and had a dairy herd until he and Louise moved into New Salem in 1974. He continued active participation in farm operations until his health prevented him from doing so. He served on the boards of the Farmers Union Elevator, the Famers Telephone Co. and Engelter Township. He was also a member of the Peace Church Council. He will be particularly remembered for his compassion and willingness to assist those in need. He enjoyed working with wood. But Bert's true love was his family, which he always placed above all else. Next to family was his love of the land and his farm. He truly appreciated nature and the beauty of God's world. Bert is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Louise; his daughter and son-in-law, Patricia and Norman Toman, Ft. Collins, Colo.; his son and daughter-in-law, Keith and Diane, New Salem; five grandchildren, Becky Ritter, Fort Collins, Karen Becker and her husband, Darcey, New Salem, Bret Toman and his fiance, Tina Sutton, Nisswa, Minn., Tara Toman, Dallas, Texas and Julie Norton and her fiance, Jeff Vyska, New Salem; seven great-grandchildren, Brandon Gerving, Tasha, Clark Allen, Katie and Hannah Ritter and Ashley and Jennifer Becker; two sisters, Evelyn Rigney and Nina Filibeck, both of New Salem; his brother, Dallas and his wife, Ruby; his brother-in-law, Arthur Weiss and his wife, Gen; his sisters-in-law, Eileen Gaebe and her husband, Bill, Elda Weiss, all of New Salem, and Loretta Daniels, St. Louis, Mo. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, Bill and Ed; his sisters, Helen Ulmer and Beverly Olson; and his granddaughter, Wendy Norton.
