Arthur C. Hansen, 85, of Goshen, Idaho, died Oct. 20, 2002.
He was born July 31, 1917, in Fountain Green, Utah, the second of seven children born to Thomas Henry and Sarah Anne Rowbury Hansen.
He grew up, attended schools, and worked on the family farm in southern Utah until he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1941.
During World War II, he served in San Francisco, Calif.; in Nevada as a guard; and was then shipped to the Aleutian Islands, Alaska.
There he fought in what would be called the Battle in May, where 500 of his fellow soldiers were killed and 3,300 were wounded.
After the war, he worked as a farmer and horse trainer in southern Utah and Idaho, as a construction worker in Idaho and Montana, and finally retired as a shift foreman at American Potato in Blackfoot, Idaho, in 1982.
On March 3, 1943, he married Leda Jones Brady Hansen in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Their marriage was solemnized in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple on Sept. 1, 1988.
They moved from Fountain Green, Utah, to Idaho in 1961, where they lived in Blackfoot until 1965.
They then lived in Basalt until 1977, when they built their present home and moved to Goshen.
An active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he was a High Priest and had served in various positions, including Sunday School president, and High Priest Group secretary.
Arthur was loved and respected by all who knew him.
Two brothers and one sister preceded him in death.
Funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, at the LDS Goshen Ward, 792 N. 1090 East, with Bishop Gordon Harker officiating.
The family will meet with friends from 7 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at Nalder Funeral Home, 110 W. Oak St. in Shelley, and from 11:30 a.m. until 12:40 p.m. Thursday at the church.
