Heart Mountain homesteader and longtime farmer Paul Hershel Etheridge, 92, died Oct. 25, 2007.
Paul was born in Quay County, N.M., to Roy and Georgia Etheridge on March 29, 1915.
He married Ruby "Eileen" Dentler in 1943. She passed away in 1983. He married Billie Gail "Tim" Randolph in 1992. She was also a Heart Mountain homesteader with her husband Randy who died in 1987.
Paul was a World War II veteran who served in the Pacific and Philippines. He started out in the enlisted ranks, went to Officer Candidate School and was commissioned as an officer in the Army. He retired from the Army Reserves as a major.
Paul never had an opportunity to receive much formal education but those who knew him will recall a highly intelligent and gifted person. Through Paul's planning, ingenuity and hard work, and the help of his partner Ken Borcher, the two converted a homestead into Etheridge Seed Farms on Heart Mountain.
In addition to his first wife Eileen, preceding him in death were his parents, sister Aleen and brothers Carl "Curly" and Al.
He is survived by his wife Tim, daughter Charla (Francis) Carlson of Gillette, stepson Fred (Nina) Randolph of Corpus Christi, Texas, stepdaughter Julie (Fred) Anderson of Dallas, grandson Cameron (Lana) Carlson of Wichita, Kan., granddaughter Shani (Bill) Ferry of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, three great grandsons, two great granddaughters, several nieces and nephews including Donna (Bob) Lynch of Porterville, Calif., and Paul Millhorn of Buhl, Idaho, and friends Gene and Marla Fertig of Powell.
Services will be 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30, at First United Methodist Church. Burial will follow in Crown Hill Cemetery. ( Powell, Park Co., WY )
