HANSEN – Alfred C. Pettygrove, 90, of Hansen, died Sunday, April 17, 1994, at the Twin Falls Care Center.
Alfred was born April 2, 1904, in Stamford, Neb., to Alfred E. and Freda Meyer Pettygrove. He moved with his family at the age of 8 to Hansen where he grew up and attended schools, graduating from Kimberly high school in 1922. Following high school, he went to work in the oil fields in California for a short time and then went to St. Louis, Mo., to attend an aircraft mechanics school. Alfred spent a time in southern California working in aircraft maintenance. He returned to Nebraska for a brief time and operated a Ford automobile dealership in Hastings, Neb., before returning to the Magic Valley and settling in Hansen, purchasing the farm next to the family farm he grew up on. Alfred married Mildred Wilson in Jerome in 1934. The couple operated their farm in Hansen for over 30 years.
During retirement, Alfred and his wife both loved to spend time in the outdoors fishing, hunting, camping or just taking their “Sunday drive” into the hills. They traveled in their camper and travel trailer all over the United States, including a very early expedition on the Alaskan-Canada highway before it was paved.
He was a former member of the Hansen School Board, had been a member of the former Twin Falls Wildlife Association, and was an avid reader of western novels and enjoyed “Big Band” music. Alfred was very devoted to his family and the care he gave his wife during her illness. She preceded him in death in 1992.
Survivors include a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Robert “Tiny” Pettygrove and grandson, Dennis Pettygrove, both of Hansen; granddaughter Deon Herndon of Sunnyside, Wash.; and two great-grandchildren, Cassie and Katherine Herndon of Sunnyside, Wash. He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Mildred; a son, Robert Pettygrove; and one great-grandson.
A memorial graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 20, 1994, at the Twin Falls Cemetery, with the Rev. Dale Metzger officiating. Arrangements under the direction of Reynolds Funeral Chapel in Twin Falls.
