Ernest Joseph Stangeland
1919-1987


Ernest's wife
Lucille Marie Hudson-Stangeland

1927-1996
Ernest Stangeland was the 3rd child of Emma Kloster-Stangeland and Joseph Stangeland. He was reared on the family farm near Ossian, Iowa. Emma and Joseph were third generation descendants of Norwegian immigrants. They spoke Norwegian on the farm and in the Iowa community; Ernest didn’t learn English until he started grammar school. Their farm was primarily a dairy farm, they maintained a herd of milk cows, raised hogs, chickens, and for a while had a sheep herd. From when the farm was built in about 1904 until the early 1950's draught horses were used to till the soil, plant and harvest the crops, and do the other heavy labor. To feed the animals they grew about 100 acres of corn and also grew alfalfa, oats, and for the family maintained a large vegetable garden. Ernest learned farming from his father and older brother Thomas and when he returned from his wartime service in the Navy in 1948, he took over the farm. He farmed it successfully until about 1954. His wife Lucille did not like the farm life so they sold their part of the farm and moved to Milton, Florida 1956. Ernest got a job on a road building crew for a year then got hired as an airplane mechanic at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola. He worked there until he retired in about 1975. He helped manage an apartment building in Milton for a few years during retirement, traveled to see relatives, and generally lived a relaxed life during his final years.
