Read More	Harley Emmitt DeLange, 93, passed away on Thursday, July 30, 2009, at the home of his daughter, Helen LaVerne Henman in Billings. Harley was born in Tower City, North Dakota on Sept. 24, 1915, to Simeon DeLange and Janjie "Jenny" Swart DeLange. The DeLange family tree has been traced back to 1770 to the Tonnis Kaspars DeLange family in Holland. His parents were both born in Holland and came to America when they were children. Harley DeLange lived the early years in North Dakota and South Dakota where all the family from Holland had immigrated. When he was about 10 years of age, his parents homesteaded at Saugus. Mr. DeLange's brother, Clarence and their dad rode free from Tower City to Saugus in the caboose of the train. Two older brothers drove the 1924 Star touring car and the rest of the family across the old Yellowstone Trail to Terry. It took them five days to cross the trail. From Terry, Harley DeLange and two sisters took the train to Saugus. A family friend picked them up at the Saugus train station to take them to the homestead in a Model-T Coupe. They went by way of Sheep Mountain and down Custer Creek. Mr, DeLange finished the eighth grade at Saugus. In 1934 the family moved to the Yellowstone Valley about five miles north and east of Miles City where he met his future wife, Helen Bard. They married in June of l936 and celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary June 23, 2009. Before his marriage he worked in the CCC Camp south of Ashland and worked for the Forest Service in the Beartooth Range Camp, and after his marriage he worked at Fort Peck. Cooking was his duty at each place of employment. Later he became an apprentice in the ice cream and butter industry at the Custer County Creamery and spent part of World War II in Wolf Point where he worked at the Wolf Point Dairy. In 1943 he moved his wife and family back to Miles City where he spent many years working for Henry Schulte at the Purity Dairies. This good experience led him to accept an offer from the Montana State Dairy Division to be one of the field men, traveling the Great Falls, Billings and Bozeman areas. After taking some special correspondent courses he passed the State Sanitarian examinations and received his Registered Sanitarian Certificate. He worked for the state for several years. Before retiring to Terry, Mr. and Mrs. DeLange managed the 4D Egg Ranch in Hardin. Mr. DeLange was full of laughter and fun. He fancied himself as a jack-of-all-trades and an inventor. He built two homes in Miles City for his family. He especially treasured the times he spent with his brothers and sisters at Fort Keogh. Old-time stories and politics were frequently the topic of discussion and debate. Mr. DeLange loved fishing and outdoor wildlife and frequently took the family camping in the wilderness or at the cabin at Martinsdale. He was also a passionate rock hound and spend many hours digging through the sapphire mines north of Lewistown. He and his wife Helen were very proud of the sapphire finds that were faceted into gems or into rings for his wife, daughters and granddaughters. In his retirement years Mr. DeLange took up oil painting and was very good at painting wildlife. Mr. DeLange was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. The influences he had on his children and grandchildren are life enriching and eternal. He loved the Lord and for years served Him well at the First Baptist Church in Miles City. He was a member of the Brotherhood of Moose in Miles City and the Gidions Society, which he helped by distributing Bibles. His survivors include his wife, Helen; his two daughters, Helen LaVerne Henman of Billings and Ardelle Jurica (Dennis) of Spokane, Wash.; his son, Bill DeLange of Midland, Texas; 11 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; 14 great-great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. Harley was preceded in death by his mother and father; siblings, Ida, Kaspar, William "Bill," Leona "Tootie," Lester, Clarence and Ardell; and grandsons, Patrick DeLange (infant) and Eric Henman. Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. At his request, Mr. DeLange was cremated and a service will be scheduled when his wife joins him. If desired, memorials are suggested in Mr. DeLange's name to Rocky Mountain Hospice in Billings. This organization gave comfort and loving care to Mr. DeLange and the whole family during this difficult time. Internment will follow in Miles City, Custer Cemetery
