GLEN AND EVA IDDINGS

Glen Iddings, son of T.A. Iddings, was born in
Mapleton, Iowa, in 1886. He came to Rimbey with
his Dad and family in 1903.

In 1904 he took a homestead on the SWVi-12-43-
3-W5 and also bought a CPR quarter NWV4-1-43-W5
and later owned the NEV4-1-43-3-W5 and the 80
acres on SE-2-43-3-W5.

Glen married Eva Becker, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Phil Becker who had moved from Webster,
S.D. in 1911 to Rimbey.

Glen spent many devoted years on the Board of
the Blindman Valley School District and was a very
staunch supporter of the Blindman Hog Pool.

In 1927 they built a pre-cut Aladdin home on the
farm, an idea advanced for the times. Mr. Rasmas
Mandseth of Hoadley was the carpenter.

Their marriage was blessed with four children,
Marjorie, 1914, Roland, 1916, Gwen, 1921 and Con-
nie, 1927. Roland was well known as a talented
horseman in the district and participated at the
Rimbey Fair with his cart team, Roman team and
saddle horse "Shorty."

Unfortunately he passed away in 1938 at the age
of 22.

Marjorie married Everett Goings, the son of a
well known pioneer of Rimbey. Their only child,
Penny, was born in Dawson Creek, B.C.

Gwen married Donald Stevens, son of Walt Ste-
vens of Rimbey. They have five children, Jackie,
Wendy, Deane, Joanne and Clark. Donald worked
at the Syncrude Plant at Ft. McMurray but his
home is in Edmonton. All their children reside
there too.

Connie taught school and married John Protti.
John was born in Pocahontas, a ghost town now in
Jasper Park. They moved from Camrose to Pentic-
ton and Edmonton and are presently making their
home in Richmond, B.C. They have two sons, Dana
and Greg who also reside in Richmond.
