Long-time journalist and newspaper publisher Maynard H. Goehring died Tuesday, March 22, 2006, at age 79. Mr. Goehring, owner and publisher of The Armour Chronicle for 38 years, was born June 17, 1926, near Delmont, South Dakota to Mr. and Mrs. Eugene (Louise DeWald) Goehring. He attended Douglas County Public School through sixth grade and Delmont Public High School in Delmont. His active participation in 4-H activities was one of the highlights of his high school days, and remained a life-long commitment.
Mr. Goehring graduated from high school in absentia in 1945, having been drafted into the United States Army during his senior year. Stationed in the Pacific arena during World War II, he was on a ship making its way to Japan when the atomic bombs were dropped, thus ending the war. In fact, Mr. Goehring's duties took him to the Hiroshima bombsite just weeks after the atomic attack. There, he worked as a military clerk with the "Natural Resources Division," documenting the useable natural resources of the region. In November 1946, he was honorably discharged from the US military with the Asiatic Pacific Service Medal, the Victory Medal, and a Good Conduct Medal. He was a life long member of the VFW and the American Legion.
Following his military service, Maynard attended South Dakota State College in Brookings where he renewed his interests in 4-H and his state. He attended the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago as a national delegate in 1947. However, his life's passion and profession was realized when he pursued a degree in journalism, graduating with an associate degree in journalism in 1950. In that same year, Maynard purchased The Armour Chronicle, and in 1966 he added The Delmont Record. He published both papers, focusing on lives of his local patrons as they pursued their interests, struggles and livelihoods in rural Southeastern South Dakota. No event or accomplishment was too small for his notice, and his papers became the daily chronicle of life in these two communities. In 1954 Maynard married Arleen Rus, a school teacher, who joined him as an editor and writer for the papers. Their partnership in this profession joined their lives for 38 years. Mr. Goehring was one of the founding members of The Rocket Printing, Inc, and he served as secretary or this business venture for ten years. During his long career as a newspaperman, Maynard held several offices for the Interstate Press Association in Sioux City including that of President.
Maynard and Arleen were very active members of the community of Armour, raising three children there, and serving on numerous boards and councils. Maynard was city councilman, mayor, Carnegie Library Board member, a member of the Armour Star Ham Players, and secretary of the Armour Community Club. As a life-long member of the United Church of Christ in Armour, he also served in many church positions, including many years as church treasurer. He was a member of the Mason's Arcania Lodge, the Shriners, and the Armour Order of the Eastern Star. He enjoyed hunting and golfing with his many friends, painting, photography and gardening, and camping and traveling with his family. He especially loved reading All the newspapers, and spending time with his beloved grandchildren.
His memory is loved and cherished by his daughters, Cheryl (Terry) Winter of Yankton, South Dakota and Lisa (David) La Rue of Colorado Springs, Colorado; five grandchildren; Cameron Winter of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Jordan Winter of Vermillion, South Dakota, Paige Winter, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mariah La Rue of Colorado Springs, Colorado and Aleksei La Rue of Colorado Springs, Colorado; two brothers Vern (Doris) Goehring of Delmont, South Dakota, Sheldon Goehring of Delmont South Dakota; one sister Phyllis (Gurtis) Leischner of Parkston, South Dakota; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his wife Arleen, his son, Brent Cameron Goehring, twin grandsons, Christian Paul Winter and Gavin John Winter, and his parents.
