Myron H. Seller was born March 22, 1938, in Hutchinson, the son of Edward and Lena (Burmeister) Seller. He was baptized as an infant on May 22, 1938, by the Rev. W.G. Schulze, and was confirmed in his faith as a youth on May 24, 1953, by the Rev. M.G. Kirsch, both at Frieden’s Lutheran Church (now Peace Lutheran Church) in Hutchinson. As a youth, he completed his eighth-grade education at District 56 country school. After graduating from the eighth grade, he stayed home and took on the duties of the family farm.
On Nov. 7, 1964, he was united in marriage to Leann Jager at St. John’s Reformed Church in rural Biscay. Their marriage was blessed with two daughters, Lisa and Amy. The couple resided together on a farm in Hassan Valley Township until Mrs. Seller’s death on July 27, 1997. They shared 32 years of marriage.
Mr. Seller was a lifelong farmer but, after having to retire in the early 1980s from a long illness, he would help family, friends and neighbors with custom work. He didn’t let the aftereffects of his illness stop him from giving a helping hand. He was always concerned about how the crops were doing or if the hay was getting made before the rain came. You could take him off the farm, but you couldn’t take the farmer out of him. He was a lifelong member of Peace Lutheran Church in Hutchinson.
Mr. Seller enjoyed building things, painting, tinkering with stuff, going fishing and hunting in his youth. He liked to make homemade pocket knives and could fix anything. He especially enjoyed old-time music and spending time with his “Little Angel,” his granddaughter Samantha, along with all of his loved ones.
He will be greatly missed by many.
He is survived by his daughters, Lisa Seller of Silver Lake and Amy Jo (Michael) Yurek, also of Silver Lake; granddaughter, Samantha Yurek of Silver Lake; sisters-in-law, Linda Jager of Cokato and Rebecca Seller of Hutchinson; many other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Lena (Burmeister) Seller; wife, Leann Seller; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Walter and Margaret (Schaeve) Jager; sisters, Delores Seller and Leona Schlueter; brother, Ervin Seller; brothers-in-law, Donald Schlueter and Lyle Jager; and nephew, Meldon Seller.
