Obituary
Arden Arthur Kuehn was born on February 8, 1941, on a family member’s farm north of Winthrop to Harold and Esther (Rosenback) Kuehn. He was baptized as an infant at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Bismarck Township and later confirmed in his faith at St. Matthews Lutheran Church in Fernando. Arden lived in New Richland until the age of seven then the family moved to a farm south of Stewart. He attended Stewart School and graduated in 1959.
On August 11, 1962, Arden was united in marriage to Elaine Tock. After their marriage, the couple bought a farm in Transit Township. They were blessed with four children and shared 54 years together. Arden farmed for 26 years while also working at various other places. Some of which were being a welder at FarmHand, being a milk man for Fernando Creamery, and trucking for his Uncle Ervin and Bartels Truckline before retiring. Afterwards, he helped his brother-in-law, Delayne Pagel, with farming operations.
Arden became sick with an autoimmune disease in 2013 that lead to him needing dialysis. After further complications occurred, he decided to spend his last days at home with loved ones. He loved to go up north fishing, go bowling, help Elaine with gardening and spend time with family. He was on the Transit Township board and Peace Lutheran Church Council and loved to socialize with anyone who was willing to lend an ear.
