TAYLOR, Earl
1925 - 2015
Earl passed away on Saturday, February 7, 2015. He was pleased to reach his goal of 90 years and reflected back on a good life with many a smile and an occasional tear in the last month. He was predeceased by his parents Everett and Freida; wife of 55 years Gwendoline "Gwen"; son Albert Kenneth "Ken"; granddaughter Megan; son-in-law Bryan; and siblings Florence, Albert, and Kenneth. Dad lost his friend, Corporal Alphonse Nobel on the battlefield in France. He never forgot him.

Dad loved Saskatchewan and was honoured to be a part of its history. He served in the Canadian Army overseas; farmed in a cooperative near Smokey Burn; and worked for the Department of Agriculture Conservation and Development Branch for 36 years. Dad often said he had the best job in the world. He got to travel throughout the province creating community pastures, drilling dugouts and visiting with people. Upon retirement, Dad and Mom took time to stay connected with lifelong friends and family throughout Canada and the U.S., but he was always glad to return home to his family, the garden, and his early morning swims at the Lawson Aquatic Centre. He also worked with the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires in retirement. Dad was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 59 years. In 2014, he was awarded with the Knight of the National Order of the Legion of Honour; a recognition from the Government of France. In his later years at the "Vets" unit in Wascana Rehab, Earl could be found in the solarium reading, singing or visiting. Our family wishes to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the staff of Unit 3-6. Each of you helped to make Wascana his home. Thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion and the Ladies Auxiliary for their dedication to all the veterans.

The article in the Star, 19 Nov 1928:

“Three-year-old Jackie Erickson, living at 4036 Seventeenth Avenue South, was seriously burned Sunday afternoon when he fell into a bonfire which had been lighted in a vacant lot near his home. The fire had been started among boxes and barrels in a mouth of a small cave in which children of the neighborhood were accustomed to play. Jackie, with other children of the neighborhood, gathered to watch the flames eat into the refuse. He ventured too near the edge of the tunnel mouth and the dirt caved, pushing him into the flames. He was rescued by companions and the flames beaten from his garments. The boy was taken to General hospital where his condition was declared serious. Both arms and legs were burned, his eyebrows singed, and one ear injured.”

Later articles described the boy getting blood transfusions from his parents.

Died at 3:05 PM in Minneapolis General Hospital. His death certificate shows that he died from “accident, 2nd and 3rd degree burns of chest, abdomen, buttocks, right thigh and leg, right arm, right side of neck and left inner thigh due to clothes catching fire in remains of bonfire.”

The family lived in Mason City, Iowa, between 1966 and 1980.

1980 American Mother of the Year.

Betty Carol Leggett Lieder formerly of Rochester, Minnesota, died on Friday, January 13th 2023 at her new residence in Iowa City. She was 98 years old. She had lost her spouse of 78 years and her soulmate 5 weeks earlier. She died of old age and a broken heart syndrome. Surrounded by family, she took her last breath 74 years to the day from when her oldest son was born.

Betty was born in Northfield, Minnesota on April 23, 1924 as the beloved daughter of Alvin and Clara Leggett. She grew up in Waseca, Minnesota and graduated with Salutatorian honors in 1942. She met her husband, Lyle while attending St. Olaf College in Northfield. They were married in 1944 and moved to Boston where they attended Boston University while serving two Methodist Churches in New Hampshire. In 1946, they worked as summer missionaries in Mexico. Betty received her BA in Philosophy and Sociology from Boston University in 1948. Betty and Lyle served United Methodist Churches in Iowa and traveled extensively at home and abroad.

In 1980, Betty was named the National Mother of the Year–a richly deserved honor. Though living in many different houses throughout her life, she made each house a warm and inviting home. She was an accomplished pianist and had a beautiful, soaring soprano voice.

A master of memorizing poetry, it was not uncommon for her to break out in verse in the midst of a conversation! She read voraciously and broadly, remaining interested and interesting throughout her long life. She was a study in strength, compassion, warmth, steadiness and good, old common sense.

She was an inspiration to all who knew her and she will be greatly missed by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Lyle W. Lieder, parents, Alvin and Clara Leggett, eldest son, Mark Abernathy Lieder and sons-in love, Stephen K Smith and D Bradley Kiesey. She is survived by daughters Rebecca Lieder Smith and Deborah Lieder Kiesey of Iowa City, son and daughter-in-love David and Janet Lieder of Stewartville, Minnesota, daughter and son-in-love Rachel Lieder Simeon and Mark Haines Simeon of Harstine Island, Washington, 10 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that any memorial donation be directed to Iowa City Hospice.

She will be interred with her husband at the Oakland cemetery in Iowa City.
