He would have turned 111 years old this week.

[Scott Tschirhart]

He taught me more than any other man and I still miss him.

Oscar Tschirhart was my grandfather.

[gamekeeper]

I never knew my grandfathers you were lucky, he even shared his beer...

[Scott Tschirhart]

And every time I taste a Lone Star, he comes to my mind.

He taught me to ride, to rope, to face my fears in a way that still accompanies me today.

Wonderful mentor, Scott. I never knew my grandfathers either. One was a rancher (Tonto Basin) and homebuilder and the other was a surveyor and civil engineer. They must have seen and done some things ...

You were blessed Scott! My grandparents (on both sides) were a great part of my life. I and thankful for them.

I knew half of my grandfathers, Dad's side.
My Mother's Father was an Englishman that immigrated through Canada. He took my grandmother off the reservation. He had a general store, was a justice of the peace. When my mother was born he was 82, and she has a baby brother!!
A village is named after him, Paynesville, his guns are in the Carson City museum. This was a man I wish I could have met!

My Grandfather on my Dad's side would have been 132 this year. Never met him. He died in a multi vehicle accident before I was born. Knew my Grandfather on my Mom's side. He was kicked off post at Ft Dodge in 1906 because 13 year old male children were considered to be adults by the Army at the time, and could not live on post at that age. He became a printer. His initials are still carved in the rock wall of the house he was born in. It is now the Post Office on Ft Dodge, KS.
