Oyen, 81, of New London died Saturday, February 27, 2010, at GlenOaks Care Center in New London. Howard was born on April 20, 1928, in Minnehaha County, SD, the son of Sivert and Reka (Johnson) Oyen. He grew up on the farm, near Crooks, SD, attending Tyler-Trobak School and graduated from Lyons High School in 1946. He attended South Dakota State University for a short time. On February 7, 1951 he enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving until his Honorable Discharge on January 22, 1953. He was a member of American Legion Post #537 in New London. On October 14, 1954, he was united in marriage to Betty Feay at West Nidaros Lutheran Church.
