Past Department Commander

D. Brad Schall, PDC

Donald Braden "Brad" Schall recently sold his business, DBS Specialty Foods, a meat brokerage company, and is now enjoying his retirement. He and his wife Patti now live in their new home in Lincoln, California.

Brad's interest in the Civil War interest goes back to his childhood when he lived one block from the Lincoln-Civil War Memorial in Hutchinson, Kansas. During his childhood, Brad's family participated in Memorial Day services with former members and descendants of the Joseph Hook Post No. 7, Grand Army of the Republic, of which his great-grandfather had been a member. They decorated the graves of his great-grandfather and other Civil War soldiers at the East Side Cemetery in Hutchinson.

Three of Brad's relatives fought in the Civil War. One was killed during those horrible eight minutes at Cold Harbor and another died several years after the war of wounds he received at Gettysburg. His great-grandfather, William Braden Schall, served as a Sergeant in the 11th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry.

Three generations of the Schall family are members of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. Brad is most proud of his wife Patti, their five children, and twelve grandchildren.
