The Story of Alma Tietjen

    LDS Biographical Encyclopedia,
    Andrew Jenson, Vol. 3, p.541
Alma Tietjen second counselor to Bishop Collins R. Hakes Jr. of Bluewater,
Valencia County, New Mexico, was born Jan. 4, 1891, at Ramah, New Mexico,
the son of Ernst A. Tietjen and Emma O. Erickson. He was baptized
May 27, 1899, by his father and moved to Bluewater, New Mexico,
with his parents. When eight years old (on a certain occasion) he was seriously
injured, his head being cut open and his lungs mashed. There was no doctor
within reach, so the boy asked his father to pray for him, which he did, and the
boy was healed through faith by the power of God. On another occasion
(Oct. 25, 1918) he was taken very ill and being a long way from medical skill
he was again miraculously healed, through fasting and prayer on the part of his
brother's wife and her children, with whom he was living. In 1913 (Oct. 8th)
he married Clarinda Whetten (the daughter of Bishop J. T. Whetton).
Bro. Tietjen was ordained a High Priest June 19, 1914, by President
David K. Udall and set apart as second counselor to Bishop Collins R.
Hakes Jr. of the Bluewater Ward. He held that position until Dec. 12, 1915.
Brother Tietjen was engaged in the cattle business and shipped great quantities
of cattle to Kansas City. He died Jan. 31, 1919, the cause of his death being an
accident in which a wagon tipped over him. He left a wife and two children
(Valma and Wesley).
