Additional Comments:
Glenn I. Edquist, 85, of Somers, passed away Monday, July 17th, 2006, at 
Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in Wauwatosa after a short illness. 

He was born in Paris Township on January 23, 1921, the son of the late Iver and 
Mabel (Bergeson) Edquist. On July 22, 1950, he was united in marriage with 
Betty Davis at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. He is survived by his wife, Betty; 
his son, Ron Edquist of Kenosha; his sister, Ethel Gallatin of Somers; and two 
nieces and one nephew. 

Glenn lived most of his life in Kenosha County. He was educated in local 
schools and a graduate of the College of Commerce. Born to a Swedish farming 
family, he operated a farm in Somers for most of his life, and then spent 12 
years with Modine Manufacturing, from where he retired. After retirement, Glenn 
and Betty moved to Texas. After ten years, they returned to Kenosha to be 
closer to family and friends, and the farming country he loved. 

Glenn served the Town of Somers as Assessor and as a volunteer of the Somers 
Fire Department. He was a member of the Somers Community Church and the Somers 
Rod & Gun Club, the latter for which he served as President. In 1969, he was 
appointed to the Kenosha County Board and was subsequently re-elected to that 
position.
