Veis was born November 2, 1921 to Danish immigrants Soren Peter and Laura Johanna Antonina Veis on the family homestead in the Silver Star community south of Scobey. He died on March 9, 2018 in Meridian, Idaho. Marvin was the sixth of seven children. After attending the one-room Liberty School, he moved to town to attend Scobey High School, graduating in 1937 at the age of 15 and ending his formal education. After working in Scobey for Grain Growers, he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps. Upon completing his CCC obligations, he ventured with a friend to California for a short while and eventually ended up in Alaska, working as a civilian on a national defense construction job at the military base in Dutch Harbor. While there, he experienced the attack on the base by Japanese Navy bombers in June of 1942, spending time with other residents of the base “in the hills” until the risk subsided. Subsequently, he returned to Scobey, enlisted in the Army Air Corps, and ultimately became a pilot. Marvin married Thelma Halvorson on May 22, 1943 while in training at Jamestown, North Dakota. They spent the war years in Carlsbad, New Mexico, where he was an instructor pilot training bombardiers for the war effort. Their oldest son, Terry, was born in Carlsbad in 1944. After the war, they returned to Scobey. Marvin was working at Club Billiards when he was approached by Roy Johnson to work at the Montana Abstract Company. He worked for Mr. Johnson for several years, purchasing the company upon Mr. Johnson’s death, and serving for a time as a member of the Montana Board of Abstractors. During those years, Marvin and Thelma had three more children, Bryan, Paula, and Kirk. In the late 1950’s, Mike Kloster, the president of the Citizens State Bank of Scobey, encouraged Marvin to try banking. Mr. Kloster hired Marvin, and that’s where Marvin’s banking career began. In 1963, he and Thelma became the major stockholders in the bank and Marvin became president. Among other accomplishments during his tenure at the bank, his peers elected him as president of the Montana Independent Bankers Association in 1978. Marvin and Thelma sold their interest in the bank in 1983 and retired. They continued to live in Scobey (wintering for many years in Lake Havasu City, Arizona) until 1997, when they moved to Idaho to be closer to their oldest son, Terry and their daughter, Paula. During his time in Scobey, Marvin contributed to the community in many ways, large and small. He was an active member of the Jaycees, the Lions Club, and the American Legion. In 1963, he served on the organizing committee for the Daniels County Homesteaders Golden Jubilee. He was a prime mover in the 1965 construction of the Nursing Home annex to the Daniels Memorial Hospital. When Marvin and Thelma constructed the new bank building on the site of the old Rex Theater, they donated the theater building to the Daniels County Museum Association, where it stands today as part of Pioneer Town. Marvin was also instrumental in the establishment of KCGM FM, serving as the station’s treasurer while spearheading the purchase of needed equipment. Survivors include Thelma, his wife of 74 years; his four children, Terry (Peggy) of Meridian, Idaho, Bryan (Mimi) of Alexandria, Virginia, Paula (Ben) Schreiner of Twin Falls, Idaho, and Kirk (Susan) of Olympia, Washington; nine grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; his younger brother Arlie of Sacramento, California; his sister-in-law Alice Halvorson of Scobey; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brothers Chris, Dick and Andy, and by his sisters Ragnhild (Von Kuster) and Lillian (Tande). Burial in the Daniels County Cemetery with Military honors. Waller Funeral Home of Scobey in charge of local arrangements.
