He is survived by his parents, one sister Sandra Louise, and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George Tieden of Volga township, and Mr. and Mrs. John A. Larson of St. Olaf; also three uncles, two aunts and other relatives.

The flower girls and pallbearers were his school mates. Flower girls were: Donna Mae Tieden and Betty Steen. Pallbearers were Norbert Whittle, Delbert Baars, Donald Schmelzer, Lloyd Baumgartner, Lawrence Meyer Jr., and Dwain Tieden.

He is not dead - the child of our affection -
But gone into that school
Where he no longer needs our poor protection;
And Christ Himself doth rule.

In that great cloister's stillness and seclusion,
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution,
He lives, whom we call dead.

Day after day we think what he is doing
In those bright realms of air;
Year after year, his tender steps pursuing,
Behold him grow more fair

Thus do we walk with him, and keep unbroken
The bond which nature gives,
Thinking that our remembrance, though unspoken,
May reach him where he lives.

Card of Thanks
We wish to thank all those who assisted in any way and to express our sincere appreciation for the many acts of kindness and sympathy shown during the illness and death of our son and brother.
Mr .and Mrs. Aaron Tieden
and Sandra Louise.
