Dale Strom was born August 16,1930, on a rural Beulah home to Victor Strom and Edna (Adamson) Strom. He was the oldest of six siblings, Duaine, Leslie (infants), Eunice (deceased), Jerome and Judy. He attended a rural country school to the 8th Grade and graduated from Beulah High School. He then spent time helping on the farm. He enjoyed working with his dad (Victor). Then he spent some time working for A'Bit and Tool Company at Tioga and a Power Company in Dickinson where he met his future wife Frances (Hlavinka) Strom. They were married on June 15, 1957 (61 years ago). They lived in Beulah for two years and then bought a farm home 14 1/2 miles north of Carson and lived there 58 years until Dale became ill. They were members of the New Leipzig Baptist Church. He liked to bowl, travel and visit with the neighbors. He had a pilot's license and spent time in the air with his friend, Carlton Leverson, besides building metal things. Listening to gospel music was a favorite thing to do and he was a fan of Dale and Roy Rogers whose son he met on a trip to Branson. But his most favorite place to be was with the grandkids.
