Emmett E. Hurd, 89, Wenatchee, went on to be with the Lord on Friday morning, May 29, 1998, at Central Washington Hospital, following a brief illness.
He was born on April 25, 1909, at Estherville, Iowa, to Eldee and Anna Hurd. He was raised and schooled in Iowa, where he helped operate the family farm. After making a number of moves, he briefly made his home in Wenatchee, where he met Ruth C. Shaw. They made a move together to Missoula, Mont., before continuing on to Prescott, Ariz., where they were married in 1953. They made a number of brief moves before returning to settle in the Wenatchee Valley in the mid-1950s.
Emmett worked as a logger before going to work for the railroad as a gandy dancer. After numerous years with the railroad, he worked for area orchardists. In 1989, his wife, Ruth C. Hurd, preceded him in death. He later became assistant manager of the Vista View Apartments in Wenatchee.
He was a member of the New Life Center Church of God in East Wenatchee. He was well known as a gun enthusiast and enjoyed hunting and fishing.
