Theodore P. Elias, 74, a decorated World War II airman, professional
pool player, and a local aluminum siding contractor, died Wednesday, in his
home.
Since January, he had been seriously ill with lung and
brain cancer, his wife, Patsy, said.
From 1955 until his illness, he operated Fostoria Aluminum
Siding Co., doing the selling and installations.
Born in Fairfield, Me., Mr. Elias at age 8 learned to play
pool in an establishment operated by his father, the late William Elias.
Completely self-taught, he soon became expert at the game and was especially
good at straight pool, his wife said.
The game temporarily was put on hold while he served in the
U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. A radio operator and a machine gunner,
he was shot down over Yugoslavia and was reported missing in action for nine
days as he and crewmen, with the help of the underground, safely reached allied
lines, his wife said.
Medals he received included the Purple Heart, the air medal
with three oak clusters, and an European-African-Middle Eastern Theater
Campaign service award with five Bronze Stars.
Upon leaving service, Mr. Elias made his new home,
initially in Mansfield, O., and then in Fostoria.
Devoted to pool and billiards his entire life, he entered
amateur and professional competitions and was recognized as one of the
outstanding national players.
''He was known as a money player,'' Mrs. Elias said. ''We
had a table in our home, and top-rated players from all over the country came
to compete individually.
''My husband played against many well-known experts, and
frequently won.''
His first major professional win was in 1968 at the
Stardust Open Professional Billiard Tournament in Nevada, his wife recalled. In
addition to Ohio tournaments, he traveled to many states to compete.
''He was a gentleman of the game, highly respected by all
and an inspiration to players,'' his wife said.
He won top honors in many other competitions, both amateur
and professional. Wins in recent years before he gave up the game to devote
more time to his business, included a third place in the 1994 World 8 Ball Team
Tournament and first in the 1996 OCMA Valley League State Tournament.
He was member of St. Wendelin Catholic Church.
Surviving are his wife, Patsy, and brothers, Edward and
Richard Elias.
The body will be in the Mann-Hare Mortuary, Fostoria, after
1 p.m. today. Services will be at 1 p.m. tomorrow in St. Wendelin Catholic
Church, Fostoria.
The family requests tributes to Community Hospice Care.

Phyllis McCurdy dies
at 69; loved job at
nursing home
By Kelly Treadway, Argus
Leader Staff
FLANDREAU -- Phyllis McCurdy didn't retire from her job at
the Riverview Manor Nursing Home in Flandreau until she was 68.
She was doing work that she loved, said her son, Ron
Christensen of Sioux Falls. Mrs.
McCurdy cared for the elderly in the nursing home for the past 20 years as a
nurse's aide, cook and friend.
Phyllis McCurdy, 69, died Sunday, March 8, 1998, in
McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls.
Mrs. McCurdy was a nurse's aide for the first 15 years she
worked in the nursing home and cooked all the meals served in the home for five
years. Mr. Christensen said his mother
also was active in the community life of the nursing home. She lived in an apartment in the home after
her home burned down in 1991.
"She enjoyed entertaining the residents, often singing
to them at programs and while she was cooking.
They really appreciated that.
She also attended church with them," Mr. Christensen said.
Mr. Christensen said his
mother was a spunky person who liked to joke and have fun. She also was a person who spoke her mind.
"She would flat out tell people the way it was. You always knew where you stood with
her. She felt it was important to speak
what was on her mind, and not put it off," he said. "She knew that problems only grow
bigger when you don't talk about them."
When there was a spare moment, Mrs. McCurdy was
cross-stitching or embroidering, said Mr. Christensen. His mother made gifts for the nursing home
residents, family and friends. She
liked to make quilts, pillow cases and couch throw covers. Mrs. McCurdy also enjoyed crossword puzzles
and old Western movies, especially John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies, her
son said.
Mrs. McCurdy treasured her dog, Itty-bit, said her
son. The dog has lived with her son
since she moved to the apartment in the nursing home.
"She loved animals
and always had a dog at home. When
Itty-bit lived with her, she'd cook right off the stove for her. Whatever she made for herself, the dog got a
plate too," said Mr. Christensen.
"Itty-bit looked like a walking pillow when she moved
to our home. When Mom came to visit,
the dog went nuts. Mom would give her
food under the table, and she slept with Mom at night, right on her
pillow."
Phyllis Lamp was born March 5, 1929, in Austin, Minn. She attended school in Flandreau. She married Stanley Christensen in 1947.
She married Ronald McCurdy March 26, 1972, in Brookings. He died Jan. 30, 1990.
She was a member of Our Saviors Lutheran Church and WELCA.
In addition to her son, survivors include her
children: Karen Johnson of Pioneer,
Ohio; Jean "Jaye" Walker of
Norfolk, Neb.; and Michael and Martha Ziegenhagen of New Britain, Conn.; 13
grandchilden; several great-grandchildren; two brothers: Gary Lamp of Eustace, Texas, and Loren Lamp;
and one sister, Nila Cleveland.
Funeral services will be
at 2 p.m. Wednesday in Skroch Funeral Chapel in Flandreau, with burial in Union
Cemetery in Flandreau.
Visitation will be at 2 p.m. today in the funeral chapel.

resident, died July 25 at a Sandpoint care center of natural causes.
A graveside inurnment will be held Wednesday, July 29, at 10
a.m., at the Newport Cemetery.
He was born March 8, 1901, near Gordon, Neb., to Q.M. and
Frances (Morris) Skinner.
He worked most of his life on cattle ranches. He lived and
proved up a homestead near Trump, Colo. In 1938 he moved to Idaho and bought
land in the Vay area, where he lived for 11 years.
He worked on the construction of Camp Farragut during
World War II and also worked at the Hunter's Point Naval Base in California and
at Hanford Atomic Works.
He later went to work for Diamond National Lumber Co. and
spent 12 years there before retiring in 1962. After retirement, he moved to the
Oldtown area. **
Survivors include his wife, Retha Skinner of Sandpoint;
three daughters, Lynda Turner of Ona, W. Va., Jeannie Hutchins of Newport and
Ella Skinner of Seattle; a son, Paddy Skinner of Nampa, Idaho; a step-son, Mike

Note: His daughter, Lynda Turner, made
this correction: "The newspaper
made a mistake in saying he moved to Oldtown after his retirement. He had moved
from Vay, Idaho, in 1949 to work at the sawmill and didn't leave there until
around 1996 when he went to a senior citizens housing complex and later to the
nursing home."
