Henry Kaiser

 

Henry George Kaiser, second son of Henry C. and Sophie Eltiste Kaiser was born on April 30, 1913, on the family farm in the Iowa Union Community north of Phillipsburg. He passed away March 28, 1985, at the age of 71 years, 10 months and 28 days in the Good Samaritan Hospital at Kearney, Nebraska.

Henry, a WW II veteran, spent five years in the United States Army. He served in the European Area where he participated in the Normandy Invasion at Omaha Beach, the Breakout of St. Louis, and the Battle of the Bulge. He was a lifetime member of the V. F. W.

 

After the war, Henry returned to farming and ranching in Phillips County. He enjoyed the quiet freedom of outdoor life.

 

Henry’s last real enjoyment came when he accompanied his comrades of the 635 Tank Destroyer Bn. To Europe in the fall of 1984. The group revisited many of the WW II battlefields.

 

He was preceded in death by his parents. He leaves to mourn his wife, Edna; his son, Gerald, in the USAF presently stationed in South Korea, Gerald’s wife, Terri and their children, Jennifer and Heather; and his son, Robert of Shawnee, Kansas, Robert’s wife, Peggy, and their children, Ryan and Sarah; three brothers, Gus and Paul, Phillipsburg and William, Agra; two sisters, Sophia Hazen, Stockton and Wilma Look, Hays.
