by Josie Sporrer
George Sporrer was born January 16, 1894 to Frank and Anna Sporrer at St. Mary's, Iowa. When he was fourteen years old they moved fourteen miles south of Seneca, South Dakota. Here the family ranched and farmed.
He married Josephine Vondra in 1920. They set up farming in Hyde County where they lived until they moved to Highmore in 1942.
George was engaged in well drilling with considerable success. He drilled wells until poor health caused him to quit this work.
They raised a family of five children: Donald, Gerald, Richard, Helen and Shirley. Two boys died in infancy.
George died in 1964 and Donald died in 1968 from the result of a car accident.
Helen married John Melbourn and they live in San Diego. Shirley married John Kuchenberg and recently moved to Thorton, Washington. Richard lives in Altoona, Iowa. Gerald lives in Highmore. He married Melvina Hirsch. Josie lives in Highmore.
