They were Kenneth Leroy Biksen and Corrine Merie Olson.} In the summer of 1960, when the engagement of Deland and Sharon was announced in the Fergus Falls newspaper, she was referred to as Mrs. Clarence Lyngstad of Encino, California. At the time of the wedding in December, she had moved to Fergus Falls. Doris Violet Lyngstad, 92, a resident of Fergus Falls, died Monday, May 18, 2009, at the Minnesota Veterans Home in Fergus Falls.  She was born May 14, 1917, in Rothsay, Minnesota, the daughter of John and Anna (Ostlund) Toso. She grew up on her family farm and attended country school through the eighth grade. She did waitress work for a time. She worked at Lake Region Hospital for many years, and after retiring from there, she worked at the Otter Tail Nursing Home.
