Jim was born to William and Marie (Casey) Dohmen on April 29, 1925 in Colome Township.  He grew up on the family farm and graduated from Colome High School in 1943.  Following graduation, Jim farmed with his father until he entered the service as a member of the U.S. Army.

He was wounded in Korea in April of 1951 and spent several months in military hospitals until his discharge on November 10, 1952.   He received many military commendations including the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

Jim took great pride in being a veteran; he was a member of the Colome American Legion, the Winner VFW, the Purple Heart Commanders, and the Disabled American Veterans.  He held various leadership positions in those local and state organizations.    He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus.

Jim was a long-time business owner in Winner, first owning and operating Jim’s Liquor from 1955-1962, then starting a career in real estate in 1959.  He owned and operated Dohmen Realty, Inc. for nearly 40 years.  Jim served on the South Dakota Real Estate Commission for eight years.
