Wilbur was born on February 21, 1925 in Austin Township to Claude and Aleeta “Maude” (Staley) Sayles.

He attended Enterprise School and graduated from Austin High School in 1942. As a youth, he was actively involved with the Enterprise 4H Club. He played piano, accordion and bass horn, starting his own musical band during high school. He began performing professionally at age 13, playing for local dances. In those years, he remembered being paid $1.50 per night for playing a 4-hour dance.

He attended Austin Junior College, but left school to enter the U. S. Army in 1944. He served in the U. S. Occupation Forces in Austria, working in General Mark Clark's headquarters in Vienna.

Wilbur was a member of the United Methodist Church since 1954. He served as Lay Leader for several years. He became active in musical evangelism, with his first outreach in 1965 in Portland, Oregon. This work led him to missions all across the United States, Central and South America.

Wilhelmine “Minnie” Grove, 102 of Paynesville, formerly of Granite Falls, died Monday, November 23, 2015 at Koronis Manor in Paynesville. Funeral services will be 11:00 a.m. Saturday, November 28, 2015 at Nordland Lutheran Church near Paynesville. Visitation will be 4 to 7:30 p.m. at 700 Stearns Place in Paynesville and for one hour prior to the service at the church. Burial will be in Wang Lutheran Cemetery near Maynard.

Wilhelmina (Minnie) Englina (Anglina) Reinholt Grove was born May 12, 1913, in Stoneham Township, Chippewa County, on the family farm near Maynard to Theodore August and Berendina (Dena) Boike Reinholt. She was baptized June 15, 1913, and confirmed March 27, 1927, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Clara City.

She attended Maynard Public School, walking the mile along the railroad tracks with her three brothers and two sisters. She worked at Yock’s Mercantile General Store in Clara City for 3 ½ years. She met Bennie Odean Grove who was part of the Scandinavian community across the Crow River to the south. Minnie worked and continued to save her pay check of $30 a month, by living with her grandparents in Clara City. She did this so she could help buy house furnishings for their rented farm after they were married, March 31, 1937. Living near the Wang Lutheran Church she transferred her membership and through the years was active with the women’s group, Sunday school and youth group as she had done at Immanuel where she had served as Superintendent of Sunday School, teaching, singing in a quartette, and choir. She was also a great seamstress and quilt maker. She worked alongside her husband farming, doing chores, raising chickens, and gardening. She loved to cook, bake and canned most all their produce, chicken and meat. She also loved to entertain, plan birthday parties and house parties. Odean played violin and Minnie played the piano and they were part of a group that entertained at many events. They had four children, Marlys Jeanne, David Dean, James Anthony and Dianne Lynette. All active in the church and 4-H.

In 1954, the family moved to the Grove home place and in 1973, Odean and Minnie retired to Granite Falls and built a new home. After seven great years of retirement, Odean died on August 30, 1980.

Minnie volunteered at the Manor helping with Bingo, delivering flowers and doing the shopping cart for residents, making lap quilts and World Relief quilt tops for the church women to tie. She enjoyed her Monday morning neighborhood coffee parties, usually meeting at Hardee’s getting free coffee with their Hardees mug. She was the family (and also Granite’s) donut lady. Odean taught her how to make Lefsa - her first batch was more like flatbread, but got better. She made rosettes, and real flatbread and Lutefisk was a holiday special. Odean learned to eat pork hocks and sauerkraut.

Minnie went on bus trips with friends and did lots of sightseeing. In 1981, she took her first airplane ride to Arizona with friend, Marie Pearson. They had traveled around Lake Superior, the Amana Colonies and Canadian Rockies and along the pacific coast to Mexico, Washington DC and the east coast. They also took small trips to the Grotto, MN State Capitol, Betty Crocker Mill and many more. Because Minnie never drove a car, her family surprised her on her 75th birthday by renting a limousine and taking her and her friends from church to Granite Falls and rides for everyone all afternoon. She was still gardening, mowing her lawn and shoveling the snow on a corner lot at 92 years old, but decided it was time to retire again. She moved to Paynesville Independent Living at 700 Stearns Place and enjoyed the college dorm living for 10 ½ years. Lots of socializing, exercising, coffee drinking, games and parties. She loved when her family visited and always was full of stories and fun. She also helped with Saturday Morning Bingo at Koronis Manor. When she couldn’t travel to Nordland Lutheran for church, she would attend the service at the Manor on Sundays. She celebrated her 100th birthday on Mother’s Day of 2013, followed later by a great family reunion with all her family attending. Having to use a walker for stability didn’t slow her down. She was always assisting neighbors and getting their mail, visiting, and reminding others of activities. Loss of eye sight and declining hearing and a worn out back made it hard to get up in the morning. For a time when she was down and out, she went on Hospice for 3 months but she improved and graduated. On July 13th, she moved to Koronis Manor. She was really getting to enjoy all the perks, especially the whirl pool baths and the manicure and nail polish. She tried her hand at painting-couldn’t believe she had that talent. She met and became acquainted with so many people that were relatives or had other ties. Her mind was 110% and she never lost it.

After a short illness she died peacefully on Monday morning, Nov 23rd, at Koronis Manor with family present. She is survived by children: Marlys Pearson of Paynesville, David (Shirley) Grove of Granite Falls, and Dianne (Bill) Rentschler of Powell, WY; grandchildren: Nancy (Rodney) Olson, Loren (Vicky) Pearson, Richard (Louise) Grove, Connie (Sheldon) Kimpling, Michael (Kristin) Grove, Steven (Christa) Grove, Julie (Steven) Aalfs, Amy Grove, Kristi Zellmann, Mark (Andrea) Rentschler,and Jane (James) Faulkner; great-grandchildren: Travis (Amanda) Olson, Shari Olson, Steven (Erin) Pearson, Daniel (Ashley) Pearson, Kristin (Daniel) Archer, Kevin (Shannon ) Grove, Andrew Grove, Justin (Kristina) Kimpling, Jared Kimpling, Jessica Kimpling, Tyler Grove, Lauren Grove, Mallory Grove, Kate Grove, Bailey (Travis) Wubben, Taylor Aalfs, Aaron Zellmann, Zachery Zellmann, Alex Zellmann, Taylor Rentschler, James W. Faulkner, and Jezell Faulkner; great-great-grandchildren: Ellison, Henry and Rafe Archer, Dillan and Gavin Kimpling, Addison and Makenna Grove, Averi Wubben, Zaidin Zellmann and Greta Olson; sister-in-law, Gwendolyn Grove Krogstad; and many god children, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by parents, Theodore and Dena (Boike) Reinholt; husband, B. Odean Grove, (1980); son, James Grove, (2012); son-in-law, Glenn Pearson, (1993); daughter-in-law, Eurdine (Eydie Tepfer) Grove (2002); siblings: Herman (Genieve) Reinholt, Mary (Harm) Hinderks, Arthur (Cora) Reinholt, Evelyn (Tony) Fried, and Edward (Johanna) Reinholt; siblings-in-law, Cordella (Endre) Thompson, Leonard (Mildred) Grove, Adeline (Reiner) Schroeder, Rosella (Herman) Becker and Dariel Grove.

Willard Hanson, 85, formerly of White Earth, passed away Thursday, March 9, 2017 at the Tioga Nursing Home.

Willard was born March 19, 1931 in White Earth, ND, the son of Harold and Esther (Ives) Hanson. Growing up, he attended a country school by White Earth. Willard met Edra Kuhlman through mutual friends. After a year and a half courtship, Willard received Art’s blessing and they were joined in marriage on January 4, 1953 in White Earth. Their first home is fondly remembered as the “honeymoon shack”. Due to the rustic conditions of the cabin and the extra neighbors (mice), they moved in with her parents two days later. They stayed there until the house that became their lifelong home was completed. With this union, they were blessed with two children, Beverly and Paul. Together Willard and Edra ranched and raised their family in the White Earth Valley. Even though their children’s lives on earth were short, Willard and Edra cherished every memory made with them.

Willard was very involved in the community of White Earth. He served on the Myrtle Township Board and was one of the first members of the White Earth Valley Saddle Club. He helped to organize the White Earth Rodeo in its early years. He enjoyed getting to know other cowboys from the state and looked forward to boarding horses for them. He loved giving wagon rides. Willard was a 64 year member of the ND Stockman’s Association.

Willard and Edra enjoyed organizing and helping with the White Earth Centennial celebration. He was fond of butchering for his friends and neighbors. He was always willing to help cook for a pig roast or barbeque. Most of the time it turned out perfect, but there was a rumor once that the pig tasted a lot like venison!

He will be remembered for his love of the White Earth Valley and the love of he had for the cowboy way of life. Willard spent his life doing what he loved, sitting on his deck visiting, enjoying the view of the valley and he especially enjoyed riding his horse and messing with his coulee cows.

Willard experienced many hardships and loss in his life, but he was a man that gained great faith from it. He knew the Lord was with him and trusted in His care.

He is survived by his sister, Arlene Westrum; brother, ElRoy (Diane) Hanson; sister-in-law, Mary (Albert) Western; numerous nieces, nephews and close friends.

Willard was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Esther Hanson; wife, Edra; daughter, Beverly; son, Paul; sister-in-law, Lorree Lee.
