Dale Evar Isaacson, 80 years of age, of rural Elm Creek, Nebraska, passed away on Monday, January 12, 2015 at the Bertrand Nursing Home in Bertrand, Nebraska. He was born on October 12, 1934 at Holdrege Hospital, the youngest of three children born to Evar E. and Mabel Victoria (Wallander) Isaacson. Dale received his primary education from the District #46 in Phelps County and then Bertrand High School.     Following his education, he was inducted into the United States Army on February 27, 1957 and he was honorably discharged on December 5, 1958. Dale then continued to serve in the Army Reserve for several years.

On January 25, 1959, he was united in marriage to Ella Mae Johnson at the First United Methodist Church in Holdrege and to this union three children were born: Jane, Paula, and Brian. The family made their home for five years in a house across the road east of the Westmark Church and then bought the Walline farm in the Williamsburg Community in 1964, where Dale engaged in farming the remainder of his working years. On April 25, 2000, he was preceded in death by his wife, Ella Mae. Due to his failing health, Dale began to make his home at the Bertrand Nursing Home since August of 2014.
