Fred Lyle Schiele, Sr., known also as Buddy Schiele (November 28, 1933 – January 24, 2002), served from 1964 to 1968 as a United States Democratic Party member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from Concordia Parish in the eastern portion of the state adjacent to the Mississippi River.
Schiele (pronounced SHE LEE) did not seek reelection in the 1967 primary election but instead unsuccessfully opposed incumbent Sheriff Noah W. Cross of Ferriday.
Schiele was one of four sons born in Vidalia, the parish seat of Concordia Parish, to Catesby Edward Schiele and the former Lucille Rountree (1897–1977). He graduated in 1951 from Vidalia High School. In 1981, at the age of forty-eight, he procured his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Prior to his involvement in politics, Schiele ran a cotton gin in Ferriday, the other principal city of Concordia Parish. He also served on the board of First Federal Savings and Loan in Vidalia.
