Arthur Peter Schloegl was born September 30, 1948 in Melrose, Minnesota to Leo and Percilla (Meyer) Schloegl. After high school, Art enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was honorably discharged in 1968. He was united in marriage to Bonnie Henry on March 9, 1968 at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Sauk Centre. To this union, three children were born. In his younger years, Art worked at various packing plants. In 1973, Art and Bonnie purchased a farm southeast of Grey Eagle to raise their kids. Family farms were dying out so they sold the farm in 1985. Art began doing construction remodeling various packing plants for 15 years. He then started over the road hauling of repairable cars all over the United States until his retirement. During retirement, Art enjoyed fishing, family gatherings, and most of all, his grandkids. He was always a man you could go to for advice, serving as a mentor.

He was a member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Sauk Centre. Art enjoyed hunting, fishing, and having cookouts with family and friends.
