Dale E. Hyde, son of Lynn and Vera (Wescott) Hyde was born on Oct. 25, 1932 on a
farm north of Clear Lake. He was baptized in the Congregational Church in Clear
Lake. He attended country school and graduated from Ventura High School in

Dale was married to Sheilah Lynch in Vancouver, Canada in 1955.

They returned to Iowa in 1956 following his discharge from the Navy. They
lived near Fertile, where Dale began farming. Dale enjoyed the outdoors,
particularly taking pleasure in raising livestock and hunting. He developed an
interest in buffalo and began raising them in 1976, which brought many guests to
the farm with whom he enjoyed visiting. Dale also raised Belgian horses. His
family has treasured memories about some of the sleigh and wagon rides they took
together. He also enjoyed watching sports, meeting friends for coffee, and
playing cards with his family and friends.
