ALBERT AND DOROTHY DING
Albert Ding, son of Louis Ding Sr. and Elsie Beulow Ding, was born and raised on his grandfather, Peter Ding's farm, four and one-half miles south of Hebron. He attended country school there for eight years. After his school years he worked in the area for various farmers and ranchers. He then joined the Navy during World War II and had overseas duty in the Pacific.
During his years as a ranch hand he enjoyed breaking wild horses and going on cattle drives. His first wages for a cattle drive at the age of 15 was a pair of home made chaps made from bull hide. He still has them and really treasures them, even though they are too heavy for anyone to wear. When it came time to play, he would ride to town on his buckskin horse no matter if it was the hottest day in summer or the coldest day in winter just to play pool all afternoon at the corner bar, which was owned at that time by Jake Lutz.
Dorothy Ding, daughter of Jacob Lennick and Lydia Imhoff Lennick, was also born and raised in Hebron. Dorothy attended the Hebron grade and high school there. During her high school years she worked part time for the J. C. Penney Co. and starting full time after graduation. When J. C. Penney closed she became manager of the Powers Dept. Store working there until the last child was born. She then went to work for Dr. Skwarok at the Hebron Medical Clinic where she is now employed. Albert and Dorothy lived in Hebron until 1970 and then moved to Dickinson, N.D. They lived there for six years and moved to Taylor, N.D in Aug. 1976.
They had two children, Clyde, the oldest was in the Navy for six years during the Viet Nam War. He is married and has two boys. He is now attending college at Grand Forks and will graduate from there in May 1977. Nancy, the youngest, was born in 1960 and passed away in 1963 of diabetes mellitus. Albert is working for a construction company out of Bismarck. He has been a heavy equipment operator on construction since 1948. However, Albert still loves his Western magazines and books, and is usually willing to play a good game of pool.
