Obituary:
Ward Elwood Lundwall
June 25, 1910 – September 18, 1999
Ward Lundwall was born June 25, 1910 in Commonwealth, Wisconsin, the second child and eldest son of Teckla (Ekquist) and Oscar Lundwall. Ward was brother to Nancy, Hazel, Doris, Margaret, Violet, Ray, Alice, Kenneth, Lloyd, Janet and Marlin.
During his childhood, the family lived in Caspian, Michigamme, and Palmer, all in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and throughout his life, Ward loved the U.P., his extended family, and trout fishing with his best friend and brother-in-law, David DeVowe, in Trout Creek.
Ward married Margaret Backstrom of Hibbing, Minnesota, on June 19, 1937. The newlyweds lived in Negaunee, Michigan where Ward worked in the underground iron mines. Daughter Nancy was born April 8, 1939.
In 1943, Ward and Margaret moved to St. Paul where Ward worked in a munitions plant. In 1947, the family moved to Hibbing, Minnesota, where Ward opened a neighborhood grocery store. Daughter Norene was born November 23, 1949. Ward also began his lifetime love affair with new cars when he bought a 1949 Studebaker, the first new car of many!
In 1952, Ward was hired by Northwest Airlines and the family moved back to St. Paul where son Douglas was born on June 3, 1952. In 1953, following a layoff from NWA, the family moved to Kingsford, Michigan, where he worked for Kingsford Chemical Company. When they ceased operations, Ward worked for a short time at the Nash plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
In 1954, Ward was recalled by Northwest Airlines where he worked as a plating mechanic until his retirement in 1975. During this time, the family lived in St. Paul Park, Minnesota.
