Theodore Berthold Schaal was born on Mar. 21, 1922 in a sod house north of Burlington, Colorado. He was the first child of Jake and Emma (Strobel) Schaal. He was baptized and confirmed at Hope Congregational Church, Bethune, Colorado.
He attended Emerson School four miles northwest of their home. He completed the 10th grade and later achieved his GED and only missed one question in the exam.
In 1945 Ted was inducted into the Army, first in the infantry, and then transferred to MP duty. He was honorably discharged.
On Mar. 2, 1947, Ted married Elma Helen Gramm at her parents' home. They had two children; Geneva Louise and Clyde Joseph. Ted and Elma started their home three-fourths of a mile from where he grew up in a little white three room house. Ted and Elma worked side by side farming and ranching their entire lives. His passion was raising cattle. He started his ranch with registed Polled Herefords. As trends in marketing changed, he also changed to registerred Black Angus. They also raised wheat and sorghum crops for cash income and to feed their cattle. He was a progressive farmer and rancher who used methods to save the land.
Ted was active in the community as a school board member, Farm Bureau, Equity Co-op, and many other community activities. He was also very active in their church, as Deacon, teacher and other committees.
The enjoyments of his life were his family and deer hunting. He got his last buck this last fall at age 87.
He is survived by his son, Clyde Schall and his wife Teresa of Burlington, Colo.; daughter, Geneva Troutt and her husband John of Aurora, Colo.; five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren; brother, Reverend Herbert Schaal of Lodi, Calif.; two brother-in-laws, Lawrence Gramm and Edmund Gramm and his wife Esther, all of Bethune, Colo.; and one sister-in-law, Esther Corliss of Stratton, Colo.
