Robert Arthur “Bob” Landon

Robert Arthur “Bob”

Landon, 100, Minot, form-

erly of Ryder, ND, passed

away Saturday, November

16, 2019 at a Minot nurs-

ing facility.

Bob was born on Au-

gust 17, 1919 to Arthur

and Lottie (Colburn) Lan-

don on the family farm

southwest of Ryder, ND.

He had two brothers and

two sisters. He attended

elementary school at Hid-

denwood, Gate Township

in McLean County. He

was a member of the

Ryder Presbyterian

Church and also attended

Sunday school at the Hid-

denwood Church.

Bob lived and worked

on the family farm most

of his life. He began work-

ing the soil with horses at

a very young age. As he

grew older, he was able to

till the land with tractors.

Bob enjoyed music and

working on crossword

puzzles.

Bob liked to dance and

it was at a dance that he

met Doris Price of Doug-

las, ND. They were mar-

ried on June 3, 1951 at the

Lutheran church

southwest of Douglas.

They lived on the original

Landon farm and raised

grains, cattle, sheep, pigs

and chickens. They had

one son, Gregory Mark.

Throughout the years,

Bob served as treasurer of

the Hiddenwood School

Board, clerk of the town-

ship board, credit union

board, Hiddenwood Old

Settlers Association and

was a member of the Pres-

byterian Church board.

He was active in com-

munity affairs, especially

the Hiddenwood Old

Settlers Picnic.

Since both Bob and

Doris enjoyed music and

dancing, they spent a con-

siderable amount of time

dancing for entertain-

ment. He also belonged to

a bowling league in

Parshall for a time.

Bob always had a sense

of humor. He and Doris

enjoyed working together

throughout their life.

When Bob retired, his

son, Greg returned home

from Denver, CO and took

over the farming opera-

tions.

As time passed, Bob’s

health began to

deteriorate; therefore Bob

and Doris moved to Minot

to be closer to the doctors.

Bob and Doris were

very proud of their son,

daughter-in-law and three

grandchildren.

He is survived by his

wife of 68 years, Doris

Landon; son, Gregory

(Cathy); grandchildren,

Justin, Jeremiah and Chel-

sey (Christian); and many

nieces and nephews.

Robert was preceded in

death by his parents and

brothers, James and Dale.
