HISTORY
From Wishek, ND, Diamond Jubilee.
George G. Schilling was born on June 14, 1907, on a farm southwest of Wishek, North Dakota. His parents were George Schilling, Sr., and Katherine Schilling, nee Woehl.
On November 11, 1928, he married Lydia Fetzer, daughter of John and Rosina (Perman) Fetzer, who also resided southwest of Wishek. Mrs. Schilling was born on the Fetzer homestead on August 12, 1910.
The Schillings have three sons: Marvin, co-owner and operator of the Wishek Steel and Manufacturing Company, Wishek, North Dakota; Delmar, farming on the original family homestead; and Harvey, employed with the Department of Public Instruction, State Capitol, Bismarck, North Dakota. There are six grandchildren in the family.
George and Lydia Schilling started their lifelong farming occupation on a farm approximately seventeen miles southwest of Wishek. Their successful operation started with 320 acres of partially inherited land from the paternal parents, George Schillings, Sr. The farm continued to grow by the process of additional land purchases to 1,460 acres and three sets of farm buildings. Since this time, some land has been sold or given to the children of the family. The family lived on the original farmstead for twenty-eight years, moved to a small farm one-half mile north of Wishek in 1956, and have moved and semi-retired to Wishek in 1963. Mr. Schilling has driven bus for the Wishek Public School the past seven years.
