Baer, 81, of Roscoe, is 10:00 AM Saturday at St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Roscoe. Burial with military honors will be at Morningside Cemetery. Orville Baer was born October 21, 1935, to Jacob and Hulda (Miller) Baer, in Bowdle, SD. He grew up on the family farm eleven miles south of Roscoe and attended rural school in the Loyalton area. Orville then attended South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts graduating in 1955. From 1958 through 1964, he served in the U.S. Army stationed out of Fort Benning, Georgia. On June 21, 1964 Orville married Virginia Huber at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Roscoe, SD. Orville and Virginia then settled on a farm located 11 miles south, 1 mile west, and ½ mile north from Roscoe. Together they raised grain, cattle, hogs, and Appaloosa horses. They eventually also purchased the farm owned by his aunt, Bertha and Fred Johnle. Orville served as a grain salesman throughout his farming years. In 1970, he was named “Outstanding Young Farmer” in Edmunds County by the Ipswich Jaycees. Orville and Virginia aided in founding the Loyalton Hunters 4-H Club. While Virginia also worked at various nursing homes, they both became rural route mail carriers, serving the Roscoe area from 1992 to 2003. In 1996, the couple moved into Roscoe after retiring from their farming operation. But just like you cannot take the “farm” out of a farmer, he continued to assist area farmers, and served on the Roscoe city council for many years. Virginia passed away on July 5, 1999. Orville married Doris Fischer on December 8, 2007, in Aberdeen, SD. During this time, Orville began crop adjusting. They continued to live together in Roscoe until she passed away on May 25, 2011. In 2013, Orville moved into the assisted living facility in Eureka, SD, later moving into the Avera Healthcare Center Nursing Home also in Eureka. Orville was a confirmed active member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Roscoe, serving in various capacities including the church council and choir. He also represented St. Paul’s as a delegate to the district conventions numerous times. Orville ran unsuccessfully for one of the two District 23 seats for the South Dakota House of Representatives. He also served on the Hillside Township board, ASC county committee, South Dakota Wheat Growers, Roscoe Sportsmen’s Club and was a founding member of the WEB board of directors. After moving to Roscoe, he also served for many years as the manager of the Harold and Andrew Schauer American Legion, of which he was a member. Orville enjoyed all aspects of farming, fishing, hunting, attending polka dances, and visiting with neighbors and friends. If you needed something, more than likely Orville would have what was needed. He also enjoyed gardening and tinkering in his shop. He is survived by brother James (Pam) Baer of Roscoe; step-daughters Robin (Dennis) Wolff of Long Lake, SD, and Patsy (Bryan) Mehlhaff of Pierre, SD, four step-grandchildren and six step-great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Orville was preceded in death by his parents, Jacob and Hulda, one brother Robert, Virginia and Doris.
