Myron Miles Trueblood was born April 25, 1935 to William and Elvira (Rodahl) Trueblood on a farm south of Ryder. He attended grade school at Platt Township. He attended Garrison High School, graduating in 1953. Myron joined the US Air Force in 1954 and was honorably discharged in December of 1957.
Myron married Patricia Mahoney on May 29, 1959. They made their home in Garrison and raised their 3 sons. Myron worked for the Farmer's Union Elevator until becoming ill in the fall of 1963. He was hospitalized for six months with a viral infection that left him paralyzed. He had to relearn how to talk and feed himself again. Through the help of the Lord, many prayers, and support from his family, and pure determination, he got well enough to walk with a cane, and once again do things for himself.
