Much of Schumann’s early life was spent working on his parent’s farm, before economic difficulties spurred by the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression prompted him to join the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1933. After his time in the CCC, Schumann was a truck driver, worked for Northwestern Airlines during World War II, owned a service station in Waite Park, and a custodian and Bethlehem Lutheran Church. He retired in 1974. He married his wife Marge on September 26, 1938, and together raised two daughters. Schumann passed away on February 9, 1993 and is buried at the Fairhaven Town Cemetery in Fairhaven, Minnesota.
