Everett was born Oc-

tober 14, 1930, in Ken-

mare, ND to Wilbert and

Maffie (Nelson) Schweiz-

er. He was raised and

educated in Tolley. After

the completion of 8th

grade, he took on a job in

Tolley until he enlisted

into the US Navy on June

7, 1948. Everett served

his country honorably and

was discharged from ac-

tive duty on June 2, 1952.

He returned home to Tol-

ley.

Everett was united in

marriage to Pauline Jones

on June 21, 1953, in Sher-

wood. This union would

be blessed with six chil-

dren. They lived in Tol-

ley for seven years, then

moved to Washington

state for a short time be-

fore returning to North

Dakota and settling in

Berthold in 1962.

Everett was employed

by Roise Implement

which later became Green

Power Equipment, he re-

tired in 1993 after nearly

30 years of dedicated ser-

vice.

Everett was a member

of Zion Lutheran Church,

serving on the church

council. He was active in

the community as a

member of the Berthold

American Legion and the

Berthold Senior Citizen’s

Group. Everett also

served on the Berthold

He spent many hours

fishing with his brothers,

wife, children, and

grandchildren. He en-

joyed traveling with fami-

ly, playing cards with

friends and was also a

talented carpenter, help-

ing with remolding pro-

jects for his children and

grandchildren. In his re-

tirement he looked for-

ward to harvest when he

was able to help run the

combine. He will be
