Arthur Herbert Angerhofer was born on August 24, 1919, at Milbank, SD, the son of Paul and Sophie (Harder) Angerhofer. He grew up in Alban Township in rural Milbank, S.D. Art attended Alban Township No. 5 country school through the eighth grade. He was confirmed on April 14, 1935, at the Emanuel Lutheran Church in Milbank. Art was united in marriage to Delores May Hyatt on Sept. 29, 1945, in Milbank. Following marriage, they lived on their farm in rural Milbank. He farmed for sixty-five years. In 2001, they moved to Friendship Circle in Milbank. Art entered Beverly Healthcare due to Alzheimer's Disease in March 2006.
He was an active and lifelong member of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church where he served as an elder for forty-five years.
Art was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He had a great sense of humor and liked playing practical jokes on his family and friends. Art loved hunting, fishing, playing cards, gardening, attending auction sales, and restoring antiques. He was a great "fix-it" guy who enjoyed tinkering with his beloved John Deere tractor and the old one-cylinder Maytag engines. Art was also known for the "unlit" cigar he always had in his mouth.
Survivors include his wife, Delores, Milbank; two daughters, Diane Grabow and her husband Keith, rural Milbank, and Beth Brown and her husband Robert F., rural Big Stone City, SD; his son-in-law, Daryl Grabow, Black Hawk, S.D.; six grandchildren; eight great grandchildren; two sisters, Stella Bucy and her husband Gene, and Dorothy Prendergast and her husband Harry, all of Milbank; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, one daughter, Donna Grabow, one great grandson, Brett Tillman, and one sister, Sophie Brown.
