Ardyce Lucille Tastad was born on January 9, 1915 in Pierpont to John & Minnie (Winson) Tastad. She was baptized and confirmed in Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Pierpont. Ardyce attended school in Pierpont and graduated in 1933. She worked in sales in Kerkhoven, MN, Willmar, MN, Portland, Oregon and Aberdeen. On August 9, 1942, she united in marriage with Harry McBride and together they made their home in Portland. In 1950, they moved to Webster and Ardyce opened her TinyTot shop there. She sold the store six years later in order to care for her ailing mother. During those 12 years, she and Harry made their home at Enemy Swim Lake. Ardyce later worked as Deputy Clerk of Courts in Webster and as secretary/bookkeeper for Bethesda Nursing Home in Webster. After her husband's death in 1976, Ardyce moved to Longview, Washington to be near her siblings and their families. She returned to Aberdeen in 1978 and was united in marriage with Edwin Scheid in 1979 at the Assembly of God Church. They spent many years in Tucson, Arizona together.
