Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, June 12, at First Presbyterian Church in Watford City. Pastor Sharon Norstog will officiate and interment with military honors will be held at Schafer Cemetery in Watford City. Lester Wehrung was born May 22, 1922, on the family farm northwest of Watford City, the son of Harvey and Henrietta (Qualley) Wehrung. He grew up on the farm and attended grade school and high school in Watford City, graduating in 1940. After a year of schooling at Aero Mechanics School in Milwaukee, Wis., he went to work for Boeing in Seattle. He was inducted into the United States Army Air Corps in January, 1943. In April, 1944, before going overseas, he married Eleanor Purdy in Oklahoma City, where he was stationed at the time. He served with the 33rd Photo Reconnaissance Squadron for 16 months in England, France, Germany and Belgium. He received an honorable discharge in November 1945. After his discharge, he returned to Watford City, where he went to work for his father-in-law at Purdy Implement as a mechanic and parts man. He held this job for about 20 years, while he and Eleanor raised their three daughters. He was appointed to fill the vacancy in the county judges' office in 1967, and was elected for several more terms, until his retirement in January 1987. Lester was always a farmer at heart and enjoyed working in the yard and gardening. His other hobbies included hunting, fishing and bowling. In recent years, he especially enjoyed playing pool with his friends each week. Lester also enjoyed traveling and took many trips with his wife and daughters, as well as vacations with brothers and sisters. He shared many wonderful times with his daughters, granddaughters, great-granddaughters, nieces and nephews and their families.
