Samuel Robert Calhoun

(Anderson) Colquhoun on November 11, 1918 in

Temvik, North Dakota. He was raised and attended

school in Temvik and left home at

an early age to begin working with

the Civilian Conservation Corps,

to assist his family during the

Depression.

To be closer to his sister, Sam

then moved to Brainerd, Minnesota

and began his first job as a Bellhop

at the Brainerd Hotel. He met

Arlene Dybvik at that time and

they were married in Webster, South Dakota in 1939.

With his wife and son, he then moved to Hibbing,

Minnesota where he worked in the iron ore mines; at

which time he also welcomed a new daughter.

In 1948, he joined his brother in Wyoming and was

employed for Noble Drilling in the oilfields. His family

traveled by train to join him and within a short time

he was offered a job with Continental Oil Company

when the oil boom began in Linch, Wyoming. He was

one of the first families to settle in Linch. Thereafter,

in 1958, their second daughter was born. He retired as

Production Foreman in 1983.

He was married to Margueritte Hull in 1983 in

Casper. They lived in Apache Junction, AZ during

the winter months. Sam moved to Kaycee, WY in

2012, living at the Meike Bunkhouse (Kaycee Senior

Housing). He passed away while living in Apache

Junction. He always enjoyed being with people and his

favorite past time in later years was playing cards with

his friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Arlene (Tudie)

in 1970 and by his wife, Marqueritte in 2007.

He is survived by his son, David (Martha) of

Summerville, GA; daughter, Diane (Dwayne) of

Kaycee, WY; and daughter, Julie (Dave) of Elko, NV. He

was blessed with eight grandchildren and 12 greatgrandchildren.

Memorial donations in Sam’s memory may be made

to Kaycee Senior Housing, P.O. Box 372, Kaycee, WY

82639.

A family graveside service will be held at a later time.
