     Longtime resident of Hood River, Victor Alvin Settje, 77, died on Feb. 
22. 2004.
     He was born to Fred and Antonia Settje in Creston, Neb., on Oct. 8, 1926. 
His early childhood was spent in Corona, S.D., where he graduated from high 
school in 1944. He served his country in the U.S. Army’s European Theater 
during World War II and was honorably discharged in 1947.

They had 11 children and would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary

States, where nine of his 11 children were born in different states. In 1963, 
they moved to Hood River which became their home. 
     His home was always a gathering place for many. Among the people who 
became a part of his extended family are Mike Curry and Brad Berens. He 
enjoyed with his family hunting, camping and fishing.
