[SEL] Passing of Tom Hidy (Muncie Oil Engine at Portland, IN Show)_

[SIEFKER, DONALD L]

Tom Hidy of rural Bryant, IN passed away yesterday at age 76.  Tom was the individual mostly responsible for the 1994 restoration of the 55Hp 1915 Muncie Oil Engine owned by and displayed annually at the Tri-State Gas Engine and Tractor Assn., Portland, IN.  I plan to post a Memorial on Harry's Old Engine Memorials site and will include more information there along with a link to a picture of the Muncie Oil Engine.
