Born on the family farm in western Marshall County. As a small child Hilda attended rural schools, walking two miles there and back each day. Later she drove to school in a horse drawn wagon. She entered State Center High School when she was 15 and was the only member of her immediate family to complete a high school education. A serious student with many interests that she pursued by reading until her eyes failed a year prior to her death. She took great pride in her penmanship and was dismayed whe the frailities of age did not allow her to maintain her high standard s for her writing.
Following high school, she enrolled at Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls and then taught in rural schools in Marshall and Story counties for four and a half years. After marriage she briefly clerked at Benson's dry goods store. She and her husband moved to the farm in 1931,where she spent most of the rest of her life. She was a member of the Colo Methodist Church, Isabelle Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, Good Earth Garden Club and Colo Thimble Club. In her later years, she became a reporter for the Nevada Evening Journal, covering news from Colo. Early in 2001, restricted to a wheelchair, she became the oldest participant in a study of the benefits of physical activity for elderly persons, conducted by the University of Missouri-Columbia. The increased mobility she developed allowed her considerable freedom during subsequent years.
