Gerald Edward Dummer, the son of Edward and Gertrude (Posl) Dummer, was born on October 8, 1930, in Bird Island, MN. He grew up there and graduated from St. Mary's Catholic School. Jerry served for two years in the Army National Guard at Fort Rucker, Alabama. He worked at the Swift Packing Plant in St. Paul for two years before returning to the Hector / Bird Island area. On June 9, 1956, he was united in marriage to Elaine Peris at St. John's Catholic Church in Hector. They lived in Hector where he was the bookkeeper and feed mill manager at the Hector Elevator until moving to Sanborn in 1962 where he was the general manager of the grain elevator. They later moved to Fairfax where he also was the general manager of the grain elevator before moving their family to Kenyon in 1980. After retirement from the Kenyon Elevator, he worked part time at an elevator in Faribault and also at the Kenyon Golf Course. Jerry enjoyed golfing, Canada fishing trips, family camping weekends, listening and dancing to polka music and in the early years dancing with the love of his life, Elaine, at the Lake Marion Ballroom.
