BIO:
Everett was born on September 8, 1927, in Drayton, N.D., the son of Gordon and Barbara (Helm) Schumacher. He attended grade school in Herrick, N.D., and graduated from the Walsh County Agricultural School in Park River, N.D. Everett went on to attend aviation school in Crookston. He received his pilot?s license in 1945. He farmed with his father and was also a mechanic at at Tisdale Motor in Drayton, N.D.

On March 18, 1948, Everett was united in marriage to Helen Stellon in Bowesmont, N.D. The couple farmed in Drayton until 1953, when they moved to Trail. In Trail, Everett and Helen operated a grain, beef and dairy farm. In 1960, they received the honored Dairyman Award. Everett served as secretary of the Board of Directors of the Gully Cooperatives.

Their next move was to Crookston in 1966, where Everett was executive director of the West Polk County A.S.C.S. office. From 1954 to 1989, Everett served A.S.C.S. in many areas, including the community committee, county committee and district director of 13 counties in northwestern Minnesota.

Everett was always active in his church. He was baptized and confirmed in the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church and was a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Synod, which he faithfully served, holding every office in his church and Sunday School.

Everett served on the E.L.S. board of education and youth activities. He was also very active in the community and local school affairs. Although his health caused him to retire from the A.S.C.S., in September 1989, Everett remained busy working part-time for Wold's RV Sales in Detroit Lakes and in later years, he remained an important part in all five of his children's busineses. Everett faithfully attended grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's events.
