Alfred Houglum

Alfred (Clair) Houglum, 80, Fargo, died Thursday in Innovis Health, Fargo. He was born April 12, 1928 in Fargo, North Dakota. His parents, Alfred and Mr. Houglum graduated from Fargo Central High School and North Dakota State University. He held jobs in sales and photojournalism throughout his life. Clair was an active member of the Fargo Camera Club and the awards displayed in his home attest to the expertise he held in photography. He served his country in the ND Air National Guard during the 50's. His other interests included The Mason's, American Legion, F-M Rod and Gun Club and last, but not least, his precious church, St. Mark's. Clair loved being with family and always attended reunions, birthday parties, weddings and holiday get-togethers. You could always count on him for a spirited debate on any subject. We will miss him. He is survived by many first, second and third cousins. Lula Houglum of Fargo, preceded him in death. Funeral: Monday, November 10, 2008 at 2:00 PM at Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home, Fargo, ND.
