- Description
- Articles and obituaries about Lyders and his wife Esther. Lyders was born on a farm near Ellsworth, Iowa. He graduated from Waldorf Academy 1912, and from St. Olaf College in 1916. Inspired by the example of F. M. Christianson, he returned to Waldorf and "founded a second a cappella choir in the U.S." In 1928 he joined the faculty of Midland College (Fremont, Neb.) founding that college's choir. He retired from Midland in 1951 and continued a second career as a representative of Lutheran Brotherhood. He headed the Fremont agency 1944-1959, and worked on his own until he retired in 1974 at the age of 82.
