David Schillinger, a long time resident of Campbell, was born March 23, 1933 in Richland Township near Fairmount to Joseph and Anna (Nennig) Schillinger. As a child, David grew up on the farm living around the Campbell area. He attended country school for three years before attending Campbell Public School. After school, David worked for area farmers until he went into the US Army in 1956. He served through 1958 and was in the Big Red One, 1st Infantry Division. David also worked at Abel’s gas station in Campbell for several years. In 1965 he started working for the Campbell Public School as a janitor and bus driver, where he worked for ten years. In 1975 he began working for the Wilkin County Highway Department as a blade operator until his retirement in March, 1995. During the more than 40 years of living in Campbell, David was on the fire department for 33 years.
On May 14, 1959, David was united in marriage to Annabelle Korinek. They made their home in Campbell and had three children, Rebecca, Kurt and Debra. Annabelle passed away Dec. 17, 1997.
On April 23, 1999, David married Beverly (Craig) Barton. They made their home in Campbell. With this union, the family was enlarged by three daughters, Cindy, Sarah and Rebecca.
Many wonderful family memories were made at Seclusion Point, near Dent, Minn. and Jungle Shores near Perham, Minn.
David especially loved fishing, and always enjoyed a good search for the illusive “Walter,” a largemouth bass. David also enjoyed camping, a blazing campfire, and a rousing game of dice with Beverly. David’s “furry kids,” Willie (Buddy) and Shadow (Squirt) also gave him a lot of pleasure.
