Marvin Theodore Preszler, son of Helen (Krein) and Reinhold Preszler, was born at the Preszler farm 4 ½ miles SE of Hosmer on August 8, 1932. Marvin was brought up SE of Hosmer and received his formal education at the SW Sangamon TWSHP District #6 Rural School. Following his schooling, he helped on his parents' farm. Marvin served his country in the United States Army, being inducted September 10, 1953. Following his honorable discharge on August 23, 1955, he returned to the farm. Marvin married Norma Schaible at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Hosmer on October 21, 1956. They first rented a farm seven miles south and one mile east of Hosmer. In 1964 they purchased the Christ Bauer farm 4 ½ miles SE of Hosmer. This farm was earlier owned by Marvin’s grandfather. Marvin lived the rest of his life on the farm. He was baptized and confirmed member of the Hosmer Reformed Church and served on the Church Board. He also served on the Hosmer Cenex Board, belonged to the American Legion Post No. 189, Hosmer, SD and was on the Sangamon Township Board. Marvin took great pride in his Hereford cattle and enjoyed making hay for them. He also liked to ride horses and read historical westerns. His dog and loyal companion, Buster brought him a lot of happiness. Marvin was a selfless, hardworking father who was always willing to help his children in any way that he could. He was an inspiration to his children and grandchildren.
