Arden Wayne Davis was born on Aug. 4, 1921, in Willow Township, Cherokee

County, Iowa to LeRoy  and Dora (Jackson) Davis.  The family  moved to

Volgar, S.D. and then to Cove where he attended school. Arden enlisted

in the United States Army in 1944 where he was a medic until his

honorable discharge in May of 1946. He married Shirley Giddings on June

26, 1948, at the Giddings family home. The couple farmed for many years

and Arden worked at various jobs during this time to help make ends

meet. They spent one year in logging in Montana with Shirley's parents

and one season cutting Christmas trees in Park Rapids. Both of them

worked at the Crestliner Boat Factory in Little Falls until Arden became

disabled in a roofing accident.  The couple then worked from home where

they made and sold wood picture frames and shelves. Arden enjoyed

hunting, fishing, dancing, playing the harmonica, reading and

woodworking.
