Notes |
- Orvil Edwin Beckstrand was a stubborn, honest, fair, no-nonsense man w h o took all assignments very seriously. He was proud of his Swedish heri ta ge. He suffered great sorrow when his first born son, Lael died on th e da y he was born, then eight years later his wife, Grace Stewart, die d due t o complications following childbirth. He turned the raising of hi s two so ns, DeLyle who was 5 years old, and Ray who was a new-born infan t, over t o his mother-in-law, Elizabeth E. Duncan Stewart, while he work ed out o f town, along with farming and ranching on his own land. He eve ntually m et Dorothy Bertha Magny through a mutual friend and married her . She wa s from Salt Lake City, Utah and was willing and very capable o f moving t o rural Meadow, Utah to raise two small boys and run a farm .
Orvil suffered a severe stomach ailment in mid-life that required surge r y to remove half of his stomach. This required him to eat small meals t hr oughout the day for the rest of his life.
Grandpa taught me how to drive a tractor. He would have me roll bales wh e n it was time for my brothers to haul hay with Grandpa and Dad. A child ho od memory from way back: When I was little and would cry he would catc h m y tears on his big, cracked finger and tell me that he was going to f reez e them. That always made me stop crying because I would be so busy t hinki ng about how he was going to do that!
Grandpa suffered a number of strokes as he aged. One stroke took his spe e ch for a few weeks. All he could say was "Damnit." We were relieved wh e n his vocabulary returned to normal. Another stroke hit him while he a n d Grandma Dorothy were driving down the lane above town by his dry far m . They ended up in the ditch but were not harmed. Eventually the strok e s took his balance and he used a cane to walk.
When Orvil was old and had turned the farm over to his son DeLyle, he w o uld sit outside on his lawn chair and swat flies with the flyswatter du ri ng the hot summer months. With his cane he delighted in poking the gr eat -grandchildren and it became quite a game for the kids to get close a nd n ot be touched by the cane. He enjoyed this and would laugh a lot. H e even tually became very hard of hearing and I'd have to sit right nex t to hi m and yell in his ear for him to hear what I was saying .
Orvil's wife, Dorothy, took extraordinary care of him during all their d a ys together which I think contributed to his longevity. He died when h e w as 96 years old. When he was gone, Grandma's reason for living was al so g one and she passed away a year later .
