 Samuel "Sam" Hert, 84, of Billings, formerly of Hardin, passed away
 Monday morning, March 23, 1998, at St. Vincent Hospital.

 He was born July 2, 1913, in Custer, a son of Conrad and Lydia Stark
 Hert. He grew up in Custer and attended schools in Custer and the
 North Valley School. Following his education, Sam married Leah
 Steinmetz on Jan. 20, 1931, in Nebraska and the couple made their

 the North Valley and for Campbell Farming, to working a rock quarry
 at Lime Kill, serving as police chief of Hardin and operating a Conoco
 gas station in Billings.

 He enjoyed flying and was a pioneer member of the Hardin Flying
 Club. He was an outdoors man, who enjoyed hunting and fishing, but
 found his greatest pleasure attending family gatherings.

 He was preceded in death by two children, six brothers and four
 sisters.

 Survivors include his wife of over 67 years, Leah of Billings; two sons,
 Jim (Gloria) Hert of Billings, Tom Hert of Seattle, Wash.; one daughter,
 Joyce (Bob) Greenwald of Powell, Wyo.; 14 grandchildren, 23
 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

 Chapel. Interment will follow in the Hardin Fairview Cemetery. Bullis
