Raymond Arthur Engstrom, 76, of Newport, Minnesota and a native of Hudson, died Sunday, July 6, at his home in Newport.
He was born in Hudson, September 29, 1920, the son of John and Anna Staberg Engstrom.
He attended local schools, graduating from Hudson High School in 1938. During his school years he served as president of his junior and senior class, played football and basketball and sang in the mixed chorus and glee club. He furthered his education at the Universities of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Washington and attended Dunwoody Institute in Minneapolis to learn woodworking.
