Lambert "Bert" Vincent Eischens was born on August 30, 1934, in St. Leo, Minnesota. He was the son of Peter and Cecelia (Jelen) Eischens. Bert attended parochial school at St. Leo and then attended Canby High School.
On June 8, 1955, Lambert married Theresa Fieber at St. Michael Catholic Church in Madison, Minnesota. They made their home first in St. Leo and a few years later moved to St. Paul, Minnesota. The couple were blessed with seven children, Ron, Randy, Dave, Al, Lori, Kathy and Kari. Bert and Theresa moved back to the Granite Falls area in 1963.
Bert mainly worked as a machinist, first for Rodger's Hydraulic in Granite Falls and later moved to Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative in Renville. He enjoyed going for a drive, gardening and wood working. Bert was always on the go and loved to play cards, go hunting and fishing.
