Edgar Franklin Dandy was born in Odebolt on July 29, 1904, the son of William Franklin and Lydia (Brown) Dandy. He first moved to Schaller in 1907.
Edgar was in the lumber business throughout his working years. In March of 1928, he started working at the Robert Mayor Lumber Yard in Schaller and later worked for both the Mayor and Westerman lumber yards in Jolley and Rockwell City. He returned to Schaller in 1936 as the manager of Schaller Lumber Company. Edgar continued in this position until 1972, when he stepped down but continued as assistant manager until the lumber yard was sold.
He married Ella Peters of Alta at St. John Lutheran Church in Hanover on January 29, 1930. Edgar and Ella raised three children, Eugene, Kathleen and Darrold. Edgar was an active member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church and of the Schaller Community. He enjoyed the fellowship of family and friends, was an avid hunter and fisherman, and to maintain domestic tranquility, learned to enjoy card playing.
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of 75 years, Ella; daughter Kathleen Goettsch and her husband Loren "Doc" of Holstein; son Darrold Dandy and his wife Carol of Annandale, Virginia; two brothers, Floyd Dandy of Storm Lake and Lincoln Dandy and his wife Gloria of Sioux Rapids; two sisters, Mary Christiansen of New Braunfels, Texas and Edna Aamodt of Prescott, Wisconsin; four grandsons: Kirby Goettsch and his wife Trisha of Aberdeen, South Dakota, Kirk Goettsch and his wife Ellen of Omaha, Nebraska, Kevin Dandy of Arlington, Virginia, and Matthew Dandy of Annandale, Virginia; six great grandchildren; four step great grandchildren; one great-great step granddaughter; and other relatives and a host of friends.
