Arnold Henry Herzog was born on August 5, 1927 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.   He was the twelfth child out of Fred and Agnes Herzog’s fourteen children.  His first home was in the Red Wing area north of PA until the homestead was ready in Mayview and the family moved to the farm in 1931.  Arnold attended Tanglewood school until the age of fifteen.  After finishing school, Arnold worked at a variety of jobs. These included working with his brothers on the threshing crew and at the family sawmill, and he worked for a time in Ontario in a service station. In addition, Arnold also took employment at the Burn’s plant in PA and in the cornfields of Iowa.  However, Mayview was his calling, and after marrying Lois Turnbough in 1951, and Terry and Audrey were born in the next few years, Arnold’s farm became more established.  He was one of seven Herzog brothers to farm in the area.  Along with farming, Arnold also worked with his brothers in Vermillion at Herzog Motors, worked in the Prince Albert National Park, and he travelled many miles across the north working in construction.  A late addition, named Kim, then came to the family.  Arnold continued to farm for many years into the late 80’s.  Even after so many years, he never really left the farm, as he would help out others in busy times and would always be looking for the latest updates on how the weather and harvest was progressing.

Arnold spent countless hours fishing and hunting.  The lakes of PANP and northern Saskatchewan had a very special place in his heart. He enjoyed making music on the many instruments that he learned to play. As he got a bit older, Arnold even took quite the active part in gardening and canning the produce he grew.  He was always quick to crack a joke and could play a ruthless game of crib. Finally, his strong faith was of utmost importance.  His rosary was ever close to hand.  Arnold had moved into long term care in January of 2016.  The family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to the staff in Leask and Shellbrook for their care, love and support over this past year.
