Twedt was born in Ulen, Minn. on April 3, 1888. She was one of eight children born to Gunder and Christina (Klemetson) Sylte. She was baptized and confirmed at the Atlanta Church in Ulen and attended schools there. She lived in Minnesota until 1912, then came to Montana with other members of the Ulen community and filed a homestead 14 miles south of Rudyard in the Black Coulee community. One of her childhood friends, Swen A. Twedt, homesteaded near her quarter section. They returned to Ulen in 1915 to be married in the Atlanta Church. That Dec. 16th wedding was a memorable occasion to the community because it was the first evening service at the church with the advent of gas lights. They returned to Montana and continued farming. Swen and Minnie spent their entire life in the Rudyard area, excepting for 1922-1925 when they farmed near Hingham. They retired from farming in 1961 and moved into Rudyard. They lived together until five years ago when Minnie entered the rest home in Chester. On June 3rd at the age of 91 years she died at the nursing home. Minnie was devoted to her family: four sons and a husband she had been married to for 63 years. She was also devoted to her church helping organize the L.D.R. Ladies Aide, and Sunday school program in the south country, and memberships at the Hingham Lutheran Church and Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Rudyard. She had also served as secretary of the Black Coulee Farmer's Union and in earlier years had worked as a cook in the old Spaulding Hotel in Hingham. She was an avid quilt maker and in later years enjoyed writing short histories of experiences in Montana. Survivors include her husband, Swen of Rudyard; 4 sons, Gordon of Great Falls; Donald of Elma, Wash.; Harold and Allen of Rudyard; one brother, Martin Sylte of Hingham; one sister, Mrs. Robert (Nora) Twedt of Cheyenne, Wyo., 12 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren.
