Biography

[edit]

Family

[edit]

The eldest of six children[1], he was born in Gamon, commune of Labatie-d'Andaure, in the Ardèche, on September 9, 1879 [2]. He was the son of Jean Pierre Louis Cru (1849-1914), a Protestant pastor of peasant origin, and Catherine Norton (1847-1936), an Englishwoman (hence her middle name [3]) from a family of doctors and engineers in Gloucestershire[4].

Early life

[edit]

From the end of December 1883[5] to 1890, Jean Norton lived in New Caledonia, on the island of Maré, where his father was a missionary. He doesn't go to school. His school and religious education was taken care of by his parents, especially his mother[6].

Studying and teaching

[edit]

Back in France, his father was appointed to the parish of La Pervenche, in Privas. Louis Norton did a year of primary school, then he attended secondary school, as an intern, at the Lycée de Tournon-sur-Rhône. From 1897 to 1899, he was deeply marked by the Dreyfus affair. He kept a demand for the truth and a mistrust about the testimonies that would later lead him to write Witnesses[7]. He obtained his bachelor's degree in 1899. During the 1899–1900 school year he taught at Granville College, Ramsgate, Kent[8]. From 1900 to 1903, he did his military service in the 140th Infantry Regiment in Grenoble. He finished it as corporal[9]. His parents bought a farm in Mirmande, in the Drôme. He worked on the farm and participated in the restoration work, while preparing his teacher's certificate, which he obtained. He taught for a year at Loriol-sur-Drôme[10]. From 1905 to 1908, he taught English at the upper primary school of Aubenas (he received his certificate of aptitude for teaching English in the upper primary in 1906)[8]. It was in Aubenas that he married Rose Souquet, in 1908. The same year, he obtained his secondary certificate in English. His younger brother Robert Loyalty has just spent a year teaching at a private American university, Williams College, in Williamstown, Massachusetts. On his advice, Jean Norton went there. He taught French literature there until 1911. During the 1911-1912 school year, he taught English at the high school of Oran[11], Algeria. He was dissatisfied with the experience, and his wife contracted typhoid fever. He returned to Williams College.
