Notes: At the time of the April 19, 1930 census, Arm was 5 years old and living with his parents and six siblings in their own
  home valued at $1,500 ($15,000 in 2001 dollars) in Foley Village, MN. The family owned a radio. His father was working as a mechanic in a garage.
 
At the time of the Apr. 27, 1940 U.S. Federal census, Armin was 15 years old and living with his parents and eight siblings ranging in age from 18 to 5 years in a house rented for $16/month in Buffalo, Wright, Minnesota. His father had completed his education through his junior year of high school, and his mother had completed three years of college. He and all his siblings were attending school with the exception of Junior and his youngest sibling, five-year-old brother Gilbert. Junior had never attended school. In April 1935 the family had been living in a rented house in Benton County, Minnesota. His father was employed as an auto mechanic in a garage; he had worked 26 weeks and was unemployed for 7 weeks in 1939, earning $750 that year.
 
Armin was the fourth son. He exhibited a very independent nature at an early age. He was kind and generous, a loving father and husband. He loved sports of all kinds and especially liked to hunt. He was an archer and bow hunting was one of his favorite pastimes.
 
Arm was a private in the U.S. Army during WWII. He began his service on March 8, 1943 and served until February 4, 1946.
 
Arm was the one that animals preferred. They could sense his love and kindness. Dogs the family possessed were supposed to be community property, but they favored Arm.
 
He developed cancer before he was forty, and died just short of his forty-first birthday. The family was shocked and saddened. He was the first to go but his memory lives on.

Armin was buried at Section N Site 977 at Ft. Snelling National Cemetery in South Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 17, 1965.
