Read More	George Seibel was active during his growing up years in the Mound City area, helping on the family farm and doing well in school. Very skilled at mathematics, he won several school and county math contests. He also had an artistic side and loved to draw. He was one of 13 children in the family and a favorite pastime they all enjoyed was playing in the snow and building tunnels in the hayloft and straw piles. Their big event was staging a rodeo and riding range, but George didn't ride; he was the gate man. Even into adulthood, he stayed on the farm and looked after his parents until their passing. His dream was to custom combine and work the harvest run. He set a goal for 25 years, but it was cut short to 23 when he had heart surgery at the age of 50. During the off-season, George busied himself by driving school bus and helping the local veterinarian. After he quit the harvest run, he settled into doing occasional custom harvest work in the area, and for 15 years raised cattle and cash cropped small grain on the Rodenburg farm. When the Herreid Livestock Market came into being, George worked for them part-time and this continued off and on for 25 years. George said he always liked "working around critters." He was a cook in addition to farming and ranching; he planted trees and mowed ditches. Some of his other activities included the Mound City Lions Club, Campbell County Wildlife Club, and the Mound City Volunteer Firemen. Among his hobbies were playing pinochle, coin collecting, collecting caps ad pens with advertising and calendar plates, watching old western movies, listening to country and blue grass music, tending to his fruit trees and his "baby" trees, playing and walking with his dog, Daisy. George died peacefully in his sleep at his home on Friday, Feb. 9, 2007, at the age of 72. He was born Sept. 1, 1934, to George and Rose Seibel at their home, which still stands in the northeast part of Mound City. He spent his growing up years in the Herreid/Mound City area and attended the rural Pudwill School for eight years. On June 24, 1995, he married Lorrie Lee Olson in Mound City and continued to farm as well as help cook at their restaurant, Calico's Steakhouse, where he became famous for his kase knoepfla (cheese buttons). He retired from farming/ranching around 2000 but the demand increased for George's Famous Cheese Buttons. He also worked planting trees for the Campbell County Conservation District and mowing ditches for the county. He is survived by his wife Lorrie; two sisters, Lydia (Willis) Ryckman of Pollock and Janice Becker of Richardton, N.D.; one brother, Willie (Lois) Seibel of Bismarck, N.D.; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and his dog, Daisy. He was preceded in death by his parents; six brothers, Elmer, Rheiny, Henry, Eugene, David and John; and two sisters, Virginia Salzer and his twin, Maxine. Funeral services for George were Tuesday, Feb. 13, at the Mound City Community Center with the Rev. Don Hill officiating. Marilyn Brockel was organist. Lavern Larson and Basil Larson were ushers. Burial was in the Mound City Cemetery under the direction of Kesling Funeral Home of Mobridge. Casketbearers were Leslie Ryckman, Curtis Ryckman, Bernie Baker, Lawrence Goehring, Darold Moser and Jim Kanable. Honorary bearers were Robert Salzer, John Bechtold and Larry "Nub" Long.
