  Musical offerings during the church services included a duet by Misses

  Mr. Hidden was born August 14, 1867 in Albion [Orleans Co.] New York and
was 70 years, 6 months old. On August 31, 1901 he was united in Marriage to
Josephine Bengtson of Canby [yellow medicine Co.], where they made their
home until 1918. That year they came with their family to Montevideo,
making their home here since.
  Seven Children were born to this union, Three Sons and Four Daughters,

[Adelpha], all of St. Paul: Harold of Anandale, and Carlton and Randolph of

  There are also four grandchildren, and two nieces whose homes are in New
York.
  Many out of town relatives and friends from the Dawson, Porter, Canby,
Boyd and Renville communities joined with members of the family and local
friends and family in paying last respects at the rites held Monday.
    IN MEMORIAM
 We cannot say, we will not say That Dad is dead. He is just away.
 With a Cheery smile and a wave of the hand, He wandered into an unknown
land.
 Peacefully sleeping, resting at last.
 The world, weary troubles, and trials are past.
 In silence he suffered, in patience he bore.
 Till God called him home to suffer no more.

    Note: For more than 20 unsuccessful years now we have been trying to find
the full Name of Georges father, His Mothers full name including her maiden
name, sibling information, Stats on his parents, if they had any brothers
or sisters etc. etc. etc. 

We would appreciate it if you would post this on the web in the hopes that
some one else, who might be looking for him or this branch of the family
will finally get the break through they have been searching for, for so
long. Or at least to let the world know that indeed he /we as a family
group did and do exist.
