Death: Clyde Houlden...
We learned that Clyde
Houlden, Jr., former NSD Buildings and Grounds Supervisor, passed
away at the age of 76 this past Sunday, September 7, at the Nebraska
Heart Hospital in Lincoln. His death was caused by heart attack.
We were told that he and Rubie were in the process of moving to
the Good Samaritan Center in Hastings, they'd stopped for dinner
and he passed on right after that dinner date.
His memorial service
was at All Saints Catholic Church in Holdrege, Nebraska (about
1/2 hour drive southwest of Kearney) on Wedneday, September 10.
Burial of cremains will be at a later date. We were told that
there will be another memorial service in Omaha in the future.
He was born June 14,
1927, on the family farm northeast of Elwood to Clyde Sr. and
Mary Ann (Hansen) Houlden.
He graduated from Elwood
High School in 1946.
He worked as a ditch-rider
for Tri-County Irrigation District in Holdrege and later was stationed
at the Canaday Steam Plant near Lexington.
In 1948, he married
Eloris Sill. She died in 1960.
On April 29, 1961,
he married Rubie O'Grady.
They moved to Omaha
in 1965. He was employed by the Nebraska Department of Education
as superintendent of buildings and grounds at the campus of the
Nebraska School for the Deaf until he retired in 1993.
They retired to Elwood,
where he enjoyed working in his yard and garden and spending time
with family.
He was a member of
St. Ann's Catholic Church in Lexington. He was also a member of
the Eagles Motor Patrol 154 in Omaha.
He enjoyed Nebraska
football, restoring antique cars and his church.
Survivors include his
wife; sons, Joe O'Grady of Blair, Brad of Cambridge and Tim of
Omaha; daughters, Sherry Easterday of Eustis and Judy Bunger of
Hildreth; brothers, Dean and Melvin, both of Elwood; sister, Barbara
Holloway of Virginia; 15 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
In addition to his
first wife, he was preceded in death by a son and a sister.
Many of you will remember
Clyde for his stern manner toward others but he loved NSD.

Deaf Digest mentioned about us...
[I copied an article from recent email I received
from the Deaf Digest - August 17th issue]
'THE DEAF OF NEBRASKA
JUST WON'T FADE AWAY'
The Nebraska School
for the Deaf was closed up by the state. This tragic decision
made by the state government in 1988 has not stopped the deaf
leaders of Nebraska from moving forward.
The group, led by the
Nebraska School for the Deaf Alumni Association (very active and
very involved), has come up with a mission - to spearhead a course
for deaf children of future Nebraska. Also involved is the Nebraska
Association of the Deaf.
