- Clare Hedegard
- Clare Hedegard of Estevan passed away peacefully at St. Joseph's
Hospital on Monday, September 13, 1999 after a short battle with
cancer. Predeceased by his parents, Jens and Mary Hedegard, he
will be lovingly remembered by Ida, his wife of 55 years, daughters
Carol (Best) and Kathy, son-in-law, Gene Best, grandchildren
Holly and Nathan Best, sisters Laurine Farmer and Doris Preddy,
brother-in-law Charles Preddy, nephew Larry Preddy, nieces Gail
Farmer, Beverly Kennedy, Dianne Fahlman and Susan Yea; also,
brothers-in-law Erling Haugland and Odel Hammer and sister-in-law
Ann Haugland and numerous relatives and friends throughout Canada,
USA and Norway. Clare Edward was born December 14, 1916 in Bromhead,
SK, the second child of Jens and Mary Hedegard. He was one of
Doc Brown's babies as his birth required assistance. In 1919,
land was purchased a mile and a half south of Bromhead and they
moved to what became the family farm. This was the beginning
of Clare's farming career. He always told his daughters that
he had farmed for 50 years so he must have started at a young
age! Growing up on a prairie farm gave him a love of nature and
the outdoor world which remained a vital part of his character
his whole life. Clare and his sisters, Laurine and Doris, explored
the prairie landscape and shores of Long Creek, enjoying swimming
in the summer and skating in the winter. They attended Hamar
school in the district, their modes of transportation being horse
and buggy or by foot. By the stories he recounted, walking was
the most usual way of getting to school and often through much
snow and hardship! He was a well-loved member of a large extended
family consisting of aunts, uncles and cousins. There were many
get-togethers out at the farm or in town at Uncle Tom's or Aunt
Ellen's. Clare completed his schooling in Bromhead, graduating
with his Grade 12. As a young man, he enjoyed playing baseball
and hockey with the Bromhead teams. He farmed with his father
and in 1944 married Ida Haugland, also of Bromhead. They purchased
the farm from Clare's parents in 1946. That year their first
daughter, Carol Elaine, was born. The birth of Kathryn Ann in
1950 completed their family. Clare took an active part in his
community serving on Hamar Lutheran church council (where he
was also baptized and confirmed), Lyndale school board representing
Hamar school district, South Bromhead telephone company, Torquay
Credit Union, Sask. Wheat Pool, The CCF and later the NDP, plus
various agricultural committees. He continued to enjoy the outdoors,
especially hunting and fishing. He was a long time conservationist,
a life member of Ducks Unlimited and a subscriber to and supporter
of Nature Saskatchewan. As a farmer, he was always alert to the
flora and fauna around him. Many a duck's nest was moved to save
it from destruction by his machinery. Clare and Ida retired from
farming in 1973 and purchased their present home in Estevan.
Retirement was a joy to Clare. He immersed himself in golfing,
curling and bowling. He and Ida joined Trinity Lutheran church
where they were active in the choir for many years. Clare enjoyed
the activities and friendships these brought. A memorial service
was held at Trinity Lutheran Church, Estevan, Friday, September
17 with Pastors Paul Sartison and Val From officiating. Interment
of ashes followed at Hamar Lutheran Cemetery, Bromhead. It was
Clare's wish to have his ashes placed at the foot of his father's
grave. His final resting place overlooks the land he walked as
a boy and farmed as a man. Arrangements in care of Orsted Funeral
Home, Estevan.
