In 1953, he was a ground observer during atomic weapons tactical warfare training exercises with marines at Camp Desert Rock, Nev.

He wrote a biochemical defense plan for the military that was still in use during Operation Desert Storm. He was honorably discharged in 1955 as a first lieutenant.

Dr. Pappelis received his doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in plant physiology at Iowa State University in 1957.

Murvin O. Anderson

ELKTON, Minn. -Murvin O. Anderson, of rural Elkton, Minn., passed away Saturday (May 1, 2010) at the Grand Meadow Health Care Center at the age of 89.

He was born to William and Ella Anderson near Forest City, Iowa, on Nov. 3, 1920. He received his education at the country school in Ellington Township near the family farm.

In 1949 Murvin married Vern Hartman and the couple started their family on a farm near his father's farm east of Forest City. Later they would farm near Dunnell, Minn., and Peterson, Minn.
 
In the mid-1970s he went into business as a painting contractor along with his oldest son, Craig. Murvin never did retire from that business and was still the "boss" in later life even though he wasn't able to work.

He was always a farmer at heart. His small acreage overlooked the farmland in the area and he did his part by tilling his big garden and planting strawberry beds, vegetables and fruit trees.

Verna died in 1995 and two years later he married Verna Eames of Sun City West, Ariz. They enjoyed a few years together living in Arizona in the winter and Minnesota in the summer. His second wife died in 2009.

Murvin is survived by his two sons, Craig of Elkton, Minn., and William (Larisa) of Baxter, Minn.; two daughters, Jean (Mark) Eksuzian of Victoria, Minn., and Kristi (Gene) Frohling of Rowan, Iowa; a sister, Ardis Mote of Utica, Minn.; and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
