Theodore "Ted" Arthur Myhre Sr., 73, of Bishop Hill, was pronounced dead at 5:48 p.m. Monday, Dec. 20, 2004, at OSF St. Mary Medical Center in Galesburg.

He died after being struck by a vehicle while attending to an accident scene north of Bishop Hill with the Bishop Hill Fire Department.

Born Jan. 11, 1931, in Berwyn to Arthur I. and Margaret M. Myhre, he married Lynne Miller Van Arsdall in 1978. She survives.

Also surviving are three sons, David of Sterling, Michael of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Theodore Jr. of Wheaton; one stepson, John Van Arsdall of Walnut Creek, Calif.; one stepdaughter, Deborah Boyle of Lombard; one sister, Sandra Corbin of Holly Lake Ranch, Texas; six grandchildren; and two step grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by one granddaughter.

He had served in the Iowa National Guard during the Korean War.

He was a locomotive engineer with the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad for 30 years. He was a member of the National Railroad Historic Society, the Chicago and Northwestern Retired Engineers and the Midwest Electric Railway Association in Iowa, where he was a director and was in charge of the signal department.

He was a member of the Bishop Hill Heritage Association, where he served on the board and as treasurer.

He also was a member of the Bishop Hill Fire Department, the High Society Band, Galva Arts Council, Bishop Hill Masonic Lodge 683 and Order of VASA.

A remembrance submitted by his wife to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation:

Ted Myhre was a ‘people person.’ He loved people‚ he loved doing things for people and loved being busy. He was not one to sit on the sidelines and let someone else do the work.

He had a multitude of careers; and he was with the Iowa National Guard during the Korean War; and he retired as a locomotive engineer with the Chicago and North Western Railroad after 30 years of service. He started in the wheel shops and worked his way into train service. He was in freight service and spent the last 17-18 years in passenger service. (This meant he could be home at night and not out on the road.)

When he retired‚ we moved to Bishop Hill‚ in western Illinois; a small village that his great-great grandfather had founded in 1846. Ted was a joiner–VASA‚ Bishop Hill Heritage Association (volunteer‚ Board member‚ and Treasurer of the Association)‚ the Bishop Hill Hi-Society Band (he played the sousa phone or tuba); Galva Arts Council (ran the sound system for the entertainers); the Bishop Hill Volunteer Fire Department; Lincoln Land Rail and the grain train; N.R.H.S.
He was also involved with the Midwest Electric Railway in Mt. Pleasant‚ Iowa‚ which is a part of the Midwest Old Threshers and Settlers Association. In his 33 years as a volunteer member‚ he instituted the CB radio system used by the trolley cars; updated to FM radios as technology advanced; instituted and installed the signal system now used to operate the track signaling; helped repair the old street cars and‚ in general‚ did whatever he saw that needed to be done in the area. He loved kids and took several of them under his wing and taught them how to operate the cars‚ etc.‚ and some of these boys (now young men) are now active and energetic members.

He joined the Fire Department shortly after he had retired. He was watching the State Site personnel burn debris and the wind shifted and the fire headed toward a house nearby. He thought that he could be of some help‚ so he joined the other firefighters and after the fire was out‚ they asked him to join the department. He thought that was a great idea. He was with the department about 5-6 years and loved every minute. He helped update their equipment and he stressed safety-safety-safety. Ironically‚ he was directing traffic at an incident site when he was struck and mortally injured by an oncoming pick-up truck. He went the way he would have wanted to–with his boots on. He was 73 years old.

Ted and I married later in life‚ so we each had children to bring to our marriage. All together we have 5 grown children and 8 grandchildren‚ and we felt/feel blessed with such a wonderful family. He loved the kids‚ but he absolutely adored the grandchildren.

The Bishop Hill Arts Council paid him the nicest tribute in their yearly tourist guide: ‘We will remember Ted fondly as our neighbor who was always willing to tell a story‚ share a smile‚ and lend a helping hand.’

There are at least two church book entries for her confirmation. At least one says that she was born 31 Jul 1874.

There are many erroneous statements of her birthdate. One source says 11 Sep 1812, her obit said that she was born April 24, 1812, and her gravestone says April 22, 1813.

In the 1885 Minnesota state census, she is probably the 74 year-old Isabell Thompson living with her husband Ole with or next door to H O Thompson in Nunda Twp, Freeborn County.

According to the 1900 census she had had 9 children, 6 still living. In that census, she was an 86 year-old widow living with her son Henry and his family in Nunda Twp, Freeborn County, Minnesota.

Worth County is the Iowa county adjacent to Minnesota’s Freeborn County.

March 23, 1905
Mrs. Ingeborg Thompson, mother of Mrs. Nels Iverson, died at the home of her daughter, southeast of town, Thursday, March 17, 1905, of old age. Mrs. Thompson was born in Norway April 24th, 1812 and was therefore nearly 93 years of age. She was not well known here outside the circle of her immediate relatives, having come here from Albert Lea only about two years ago. Mr. & Mrs. Iverson left Lester Saturday morning with the remains for Albert Lea where interment will take place. **(buried Silver Lake Lutheran Cemetery, Worth Co., IA)

The following was originally prepared by Katherine and can be found at Find A Grave:

Engeborg was the youngest of eleven children. She was a strong willed person and probably instigated the family migration to America. She was a tall thin woman with auburn or reddish hair and blue eyes. Lee G. Larson (Lewis Larson's son) remembers that when she was over 90 years old, she smoked a pipe and wore a white cap. Lewis Larson (son-in-law) once commented that Engeborg was quite forceful and sometimes petulant in manner.

Rachel Thompson married Nels Iverson and after Ole's death, Engeborg lived with the Iversons near Hills, Minnesota, until her death. Engeborg and Andrew Thompson went to South Dakota, where they both took up claims near the village of Montrose. Here Engeborg married Lewis "Lars" Hanson Larson; and Andrew, after losing his wife and two young daughters (interred at Montrose cemetery) moved to Spokane, Washington, remarried and raised a new family.

Here she was married to Erick Lockrem in 1868 and they came to the Little Chicago community where they made their home for many years. In 1894 they purchased the farm which continued to be Mrs Lockrem’s home until she moved to Northfield in 1924 to live with her daughter. Mr Lockrem died in 1916.
