50 years of exceptional services and supports Sunday, March 15th | 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.

Gateway Services, Inc. 406 S. Gosse Blvd., Princeton, IL Our humble beginnings started in 1970 in an abandoned schoolhouse in Malden, Illinois. Staffed with a crew of 3, 1 program, and $35,000, Gateway Services was born. Currently Gateway has 7 programs, approximately 115 staff, 3 office buildings, a mechanic’s garage, and 6 residential homes, and an annual budget exceeding $5 million. We moved to our current location on South Gosse Boulevard in Princeton in 1978.

In 1978, our first home was rented to provide 24 hour residential supports. Today, we have 6 CILA homes, 2 of which are owned by Gateway Services, and 4 are rental agreements between a landlord and the individuals who live there. Prior to 1989, transportation was Gatewayspecific. Today, BPART consists of Gateway as the lead administrator and 3 partner agencies (St. Margaret’s Hospital, Bureau County Senior Citizens Association, and Putnam County Senior Center). In FY19, the BPART system had 28 vehicles on the road. They logged 602,912 miles and provided 65,808 rides!

In 2007, our day program expanded from the Princeton location to include an office in Henry to better serve individuals from eastern Bureau, Marshall, and Putnam Counties.

Over the years, we saw programs change from recycling to a sheltered workshop and a woodshop.

Recycling closed in 1992 and the sheltered workshop followed in 1997. The focus shifted to employment within the community, allowing individuals choice of employment and real jobs with real pay.

2017 saw the beginning of Open Doors Community Counseling, a community mental health program.

Located in Perry Plaza (and in Henry as of 2019), we are currently seeing children (age 5 and older) and adults with Medicaid only.

We have seen many changes since the 1970s; however, we share a common goal of ensuring a high quality of life for everyone.

Norberg Memorial Home, Inc. & Monuments has been honored to serve area families since 1903.

Norberg’s is owned and operated

by J.D. and Janice Smallwood.

Norberg’s has been in the Smallwood family since 1956.

J.D.’s father Bodie, partnered with the late Arthur Norberg, buying into the company in 1966 and eventually becoming sole owner.

J.D. purchased the funeral home from Bodie in 2008. J.D. started working with Bodie in 1996 after graduating from Worsham Mortuary School in Wheeling, IL. He was able to work with his father for over 10 years, before Bodies’s passing in late 2008.

Janice came on board in early 2018 after moving back home to Princeton.

J.D. and Janice’s love story began at the Skate-A-Rama in Princeton. In the late 70’s, Janice

moved to South Carolina after her father took early retirement. She owned a bookkeeping company in South Carolina, Palmetto Bookkeeping Services, as well as sales and support for Peachtree Accounting Software and

Readers Choice Awards 2019, 2018, 2017 & 2016 Voted Most Respected Funeral Home

Quickbooks. She managed and maintained the books for several large not for profit organizations including the South Carolina State Firefighters Association as well as USTA South Carolina.

J.D. and Janice reconnected

through a mutual friend after her husband’s passing. J.D. and Janice will soon be celebrating their fouryear anniversary.

“Not only was J.D. my first love, but he will also be my last,” Janice said.

“It’s one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever loved. It’s a true honor that people select us to care for their loved one during their time of need,” says J.D. and Janice.

Norberg’s provides affordable funerals, cremations, burials, prearrangements, monuments and headstones, as well as urns, vaults and a variety of memorial and customized jewelry.

Norberg’s is located at 701 E. Thompson St., Princeton. Ph: (815) 875-2425. Please visit our website at www.norbergfh.com or email: norberg@norbergfh.com.
