Earl Albert Rohrbach, son of Esther (Beck) and Albert Rohrbach, was born July 23, 1952 at Eureka. He was brought up on the family farm two miles west of Artas. He attended the Artas School, Eureka High School (Class of 1970) and Mitchell Area Vocational Technical Institute, Mitchell, SD where he earned a welding degree. He then returned to the family farmed where he lived the rest of his life. He farmed and ranched until early this year when his health no longer would permit. He was a member of the Eureka United Methodist Church (currently Saving Grace Community Church). Earl enjoyed watching westerns, hunting, fishing, riding his four-wheeler with his cat, Goldie, pinochle, and had a great love for animals. He especially cherished time spent with family.
