George was born June 17, 1931 on the family farm east of St. Anthony, ND, the son of George and Louise (Gartner) Schwartzbauer. He attended rural school for 8 years south of the family farm near St. Anthony, ND. He served in the Army in 1953 and was discharged in 1953. He worked construction after he got out of the service. He married Alice L. Taylor of Mandan, ND on July 7, 1964 at St. Anthony Catholic Church. They lived in Huff, ND for 10 years. He then worked as a hired man for Graner’s farm at Huff, ND for 12 years, until May 1974, when he and his family moved to Taylor farmstead 7 miles southwest of Mandan, ND, where they presently reside. Then he worked for the Morton County Highway Department for 19 years until he retired in June 1993. Then he worked on the farm raising cattle and putting up hay, until his sons took over the farm in 2006, when his health worsened.
He appreciated the outdoors, fishing and hunting and enjoyed to pick up his grandchildren coming home from school on the bus. He always loved spending time with his grandchildren. It was common to see George driving around the area enjoying the countryside and seeing what was going on in the neighborhood. He was a member of American Legion for 43 years, Mandan Eagles for 31 years, and Brotherhood of St. Antonius for 52 years.
George is survived by his wife, Alice of 50 years. His children, Mary Lou and Craig Fluto, Mandan; Susan and Billy Fisher, Mandan; Allen, Mandan; Glenda and Douglas Duppong, Mandan; (twins) James and Rhonda, Mandan; John and Melissa, Mandan.
