Marvin Harold Grammentz, son of August and Amanda (Stage) Grammentz was born on August 19, 1925 on the family farm in Brown County near Cobden, Minnesota, where he grew up and attended country school.

Shortly after they were married, the couple moved to Winsted where Marvin began working as an electrician at Sterner Lighting Company, where he continued to work for the next 23 years. After he retired, the couple relocated to Cleveland, Tennessee for three years before settling once again in the Morris area in 1995, where he continued to live until the time of his death.
Marvin was a member of First Congregational Church in Hancock. He enjoyed going to flea markets, traveling, hunting, fishing and being outdoors.
