Sherman H. Quanbeck
Sherman H. Quanbeck, 70, Mandan, died Oct. 19, 2000, at his family's ranch in Morton County. Services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Monday at First Lutheran Church, Mandan, with the Rev. Charles Axness officiating. A service will also be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at McVille Lutheran Church with the Rev. Mike Fiske officiating. Burial will be in Norway Lutheran Cemetery, McVille.

Visitation will also be held at the church in McVille one hour before services. Sherman was born April 6, 1930, in McVille, the son of Jacob and Ovida (Aslakson) Quanbeck. He attended McVille High School, graduating in 1947. He served a 4-year tour of duty as an Air Force AE mechanic during the Korean War and went on to graduate from North Dakota State University with a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering, finishing near the top of his class. After college, he worked at Honeywell Aerospace for a short period before returning to the farm. Sherman and Loretta Wegner of Elgin were united in marriage on March 15, 1958. His inventive nature and mechanical training in college and the Air Force gave him the resources to design and improve farm equipment, making landmark changes in the entire agricultural industry. He designed the revolutionary mechanical trip mechanism for the Reiten plow that won industry awards. Because of this practical experience and building industry reputation, the founders of a small manufacturing company recruited him to improve their products. This new partnership between Sherman and Wil-Rich, Inc. proved to be very successful. The need for new and better designs and the entrepreneurial culture of Wil-Rich gave Sherman the opportunity to challenge his intellect and undying persistence. He created a multipurpose line of Wil-Rich tillage equipment that filled the needs of the expanding farm economy. His designs of the Wil-Rich chisel plow, mold board plow and field cultivator were the bedrock of the success of Wil-Rich. Wil-Rich, Inc. was sold to Lear Sigler Inc. in 1980. The purchase included Sherman's 23 patents and the newly designed Wil-Rich airseeder. Sherman never gave up on the fact that there was some way to improve the agricultural industry and felt grave concern for the plight of his peers, his fellow farmers. Sherman and Loretta raised their family on the farm near McVille, where he also farmed with his family, Quanbeck-Nesheim Farms, from 1950 to the present. Sherman was also instrumental in the purchase of his family's ranch near Mandan, where he died doing what he enjoyed most. A list of the honors and awards that Sherman won include the 1961 North Dakota Inventors Congress, the 1972 GNDA for Science and Industry, the Outstanding Individuals in Agricultural Equipment Industry at the 1980 NDSU Harvest Bowl and the Industry NAMA Agri-Marketer of the Year in 1987. Sherman was a member of the NDSU Alumni President's Association, the American Legion, the Elks Lodge, and was also very generous to his church, friends and family. He was a wonderful husband and father, and loved his family above all else. Sherman is survived by his wife, Loretta; his sons and daughters-in-law, Kurt and Cheryl, McVille, and Mark and Heidi, Bismarck; his daughter and son-in-law, Kaye and Dale Effertz, Mandan; his grandson, Ross Effertz; his brother, Edwin Quanbeck; his sister, Corine Nesheim, both of Pekin; and his nephew, Dean Clark. He was preceded in death by his parents; and his brothers-in-law, Vernon Nesheim and Jack Clark. The family prefers memorials to First Lutheran Church in Mandan, or McVille Lutheran Church.
