Mrs. Engstrom was born February 17, 1915, to Edward and Florence (Ostereng) Schurr in New Salem, ND. The family lived near Almont, ND, until moving to Fargo when she was six years old. She attended school in Fargo, graduating from Fargo Central High School in 1933 and from North Dakota Agricultural College in 1938. After her college graduation, she moved to Leeds where she taught Home Economics, Chemistry, Latin, and Elementary Health. On June 21, 1941, she married Emil L. Engstrom. They moved to the Fargo area where Elaine continued teaching at Hunter, ND, for a few years before returning to Leeds to settle on Emil's maternal grandparents' homestead. Here they raised their family and farmed for many years. The farm was named a Centennial Farm in 1989. Emil died in 1992. Elaine chose to remain on the farm as she dearly loved nature, gardening, bird watching, and observing the crop-growing season. She lived on the farmstead for nearly seventy years. Elaine was an excellent seamstress and spent many hours sewing clothes and quilts for her family. She loved to cook, especially enjoying big family meals. She enjoyed music, was an avid reader, and looked forward to solving the Fargo Forum puzzles. She was blessed with a positive attitude and was kind to everyone. Family was foremost in her life. Although her brother, Gar, lived in the Chicago area, he and Elaine visited weekly via telephone. She was a member of the Leeds Lutheran Church, WELCA, and Homemakers' Club. Private services are pending. The Nelson Funeral Home of Leeds is in charge of the arrangements.
