Reinhold Hieb was born on Sunday, July 15, 1923 at Tripp, South Dakota to Stephen and Katharina (Walker) Hieb. As a boy, Reinhold traveled with his parents to Mitchell, which was a big event at that time. They bought him a new toy truck in the ?big city? and it was the envy of all his friends, who began calling him ?City.? The name stuck with him for the rest of his life. He graduated from Tripp High School in 1943 and entered the Army in June of 1943. He served during World War II in the European / African / Middle Eastern Theater of Operations and was honorably discharged in April of 1946. City was united in marriage to Elsie Schnabel on September 12, 1948 at Tripp. They made their home in Tripp and he worked for the State Highway Department for 28 years. He and Elsie loved music and going to dances. They went dancing every chance they got, and were able to see Lawrence Welk and Guy Lombardo. He also enjoyed bowling, and bowled on a league for many years. City loved to hunt pheasants, geese and ducks. He also went rabbit hunting with his son, who was amazed that his father could see rabbits that no one else could spot. City took an active role in his grandchildren?s lives and attended every school and sporting event of theirs that he could. He took great joy in teaching them to golf and ride their bikes. He was active in the community of Tripp, serving on the Tripp Volunteer Fire Department and on the City Council. He was also a member of the Tripp American Legion. They moved to Mitchell in 2004.
