Edward Schoenberg, the son of Joseph and Mary (Ellering) Schoenberg, was born on Janury 18, 1928, in Springhill, Minn. Edward lived on and farmed the same farm he was born on, until retirement. While in Spring Hill he was a member of St. Michael Catholic Church. On February 7, 1985, he married Audrey Gehrking in St. Cloud. They moved near Rice Lake, by Eden Valley, to manage the campground. They then moved to a hobby farm south of Watkins and lived there for 10 years before moving to Litchfield. Edward moved to Bethany in May, and in July of 2016 a tornado took their trailer home. He was a member of the Church of St. Philip. Edward enjoyed collecting toy tractors, hunting and fishing. He loved farming and raising cows and pigs. His family was very special to him, especially his nieces and nephews.
