LAKELAND, FL — The Rev. T. Howren Norton Sr., 88, of Lakeland, FL, died 
Thursday, January 9, 2003, at Grace Health Care following a stroke.

The funeral was Monday, January 13, 2003, at First United Methodist Church in

The Rev. Howren Norton had delivered the word of God to people throughout 
Florida for more than 60 years. After graduating from Florida Southern College 
and from Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, he became a 
United Methodist minister in 1938, pastoring in churches throughout the state 
of Florida. The Rev. Norton made mission trips to Cuba and had enjoyed the new 
covenant that Florida had made with Cuba in sponsoring churches there.

A fifth generation Methodist Minister, The Rev. Norton continued to bring 
people to Christ. As recently as this fall, he converted a man to Christianity 
and baptized him while both were in the nursing home. He was also counseling a 
couple in the nursing home who wanted to get married.

Survivors include his wife of 64 years, Frances D. Norton; two sons, the Rev. 
Thomas H. Norton Jr. of St. Petersburg, FL, and John Hendrix Norton of Albany; 
two daughters, Mauren N. Baker of Snow Hill, NC, and Julia N. Stevens of

grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
