Visitation will be held at 2 p.m. today at Kesling Funeral Home, Mobridge, S.D., where a prayer service will be held at 7 p.m. Earl Louis Espeland was born June 19, 1923, to Ingval and Hilda (Lund) Espeland at the family home in Campbell County north of Glenham. He grew up on his parents' farm and attended the Amundson and Larson Schools. He spent his junior year of high school in Brookings, S.D., and graduated from Glenham High School in 1941. He helped on the family farm before joining the U.S. Marine Corps in September 1945. He spent time in the Hawaiian Islands and was discharged on Oct. 20, 1946. Following his discharge, he returned to the family farm. On March 18, 1956, he married Violet Hanson at Norway Lutheran Church. Following their marriage, they made their home on the family farm where they farmed and raised their family. Some hobby interests included emus, guinea hens and geese. Other than Violet, the love of his life was farming. At the time of his death, Earl was a resident of Selby Good Samaritan Center. Earl was baptized and confirmed and a very active member of Norway Lutheran Church. He sang in their choir, taught Sunday school and served as an officer on the church council. Earl enjoyed hunting, fishing, bowling, attending family reunions and being outdoors. Earl and a friend, Walter Hohle, hunted deer in the Black Hills every November for 50 years. He could tell you many stories of the years growing up when neighborhood farmers got together to thresh grain, bundling and shocking the crop and bringing it all to the threshing machine where the final harvesting process took place. Earl is survived by his children, Robert (Lois ) Espeland, Denver, Ronald (Rose) Espeland, Bismarck, Debra (Mark) Grandgenett, Alexandria, Minn., Kevin Espeland, Pierre, S.D., and Karen Espeland, Sioux Falls, S.D.; his brother, Marvin (Beverley) Espeland, Rapid City, S.D.; his sisters Dorothy Espeland, San Francisco, and Joyce (Don) Frevert, DesMoines, Iowa; and nine grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Violet; and his sisters, Gladys Anderson and Ellen Wessel.
