LOGBERG-HEIMSKRINGLA. FIMMTUDAGINN 6. OKTOBER 1977
Á TRIBUTE TO - Hermonn Fjeldsted
Hermann Johannes Fjeld-
sted was born in Arborg,
Manitoba, May 2, 1912. He
was the son of Captein As-
geir and Ingunn Fjeldsted.
His father died suddenly on
the eve of his battalion leav-
ing for overseas during the
First World War. That trag-
ety left Mrs. Fledstel with
the responsibility of bring-
ing up her three sons, Her-
mann, Thor and Asgeir, a-
lone.
Hermann obtained his edu
cation in Arborg, his high
school career being cut
short by his joning the Roy-
al Canadian Navy during
World War II. Upon his re-
turning to civilian life, he
worked for Sigurdson, Thor-
valdson Co. at Arborg for a
number of years and later
accepted the position of cust
odian for the Winnipeg Scho
ol Division and later as a
City Clerk for the Ashdown
Hardware Company in Win-
nipeg until the fatal accid-
ent which led to his death.
Before he left Arborg, he
married Lauga (Laura)
Bjornson and a short time
later they adopted a little
girl, Jo-Anne Wathryn, who
became his pride and joy as
he was passionately fond of
children. He was also a lov-
ing husband and a kind son-
in-law. During the long illn-
ess of Lauga’s mother, he
drove to see her every day, a
long distance to the Princess
Elizabeth Hospital until her
suffering finally came to an
end. Then Lauga’s father
found his home with them
until the last year’s of his
life which he spent at the
Betel Home at Gimli, where
he was visited frequently by
Lauga and Hermann.
Hermann was a very hand
some man with a charming
personality. When he was a
little boy it was soon evident
that he passessed a splendid
singing voice. Later, as a
member of the Arborg
Church Choir he so often
thrilled the congregation
with his beautiful tenor sol-
os. He and his brother Thor,
who has a fine bass voice,
were in great demant for
entertainment at all musical
gathering in our town. It
was taken for granted that
Hermann and Thor would
sing on every important oc-
casion. When they moved to
Winnipeg they naturally
found their true identity
with their choir of the First
Lutheran Church.
After a lengthy illness, Her
mann passed away at the
Misericordia Hospital on
February 8, 1977. The shock
of the news hit all of us who
knew him well. That he was
gone, the debonair young
man, who was so popular
and friendly to all, was hard
to believe. He will be sadly
missed by his family and,
judging by the crowd at his
funeral, he had deep roots in
the hearts of all his friends
and acquaintances.
