Wallace Sauer was born August 25, 1923 to Jacob and Theresa (Kartes) Sauer at their farm near Mt. Carmel, ND. He was baptized and confirmed at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Mt. Carmel. He attended country school after which he farmed with his family until 1950 when he moved to New Brighton, MN where he was an inspector for Federal Cartridge at the Twins City Arsenal. In 1957, he returned to Mt. Carmel to farm. On November 26, 1962 Wallace was united in marriage to Annabelle Myers of Langdon. They resided on her father’s homestead near Langdon.

Wallace spent many good times trapping and hunting with his dad. He also liked going fishing and enjoyed dancing. In later years, he became a collector of model tractors and had quite a large collection. His pride and joy, however, was his red 1966 Mustang convertible.
