Elmer Hanken was born near Langworthy, Iowa October 19, 1914 to Fredrick A. Hanken and Anna M. Bohlken. He was raised in the Lutheran faith, baptized and confirmed at St. John's Lutheran, the church whose early founders were members of his great grandfather's family. Elmer was educated at Wayne Number 9 and later drafted and served in "B" Battery, 601st Field Artillery Pack, as a gunner. His service took him from the Aleutian Campaign around to the other side of the world to Italy, France, Germany, and Austria. He was part of the group that relieved the infantry at Dachau concentration camp as the war drew to a close. Following the war he married Helen Ortgies at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Anamosa November 17, 1948. The couple rented a farm in Lovell Township prior to purchasing a farm in Scotch Grove Township, which was their home for thirty years. After retiring they purchased an acreage in Hardscrabble and lived there comfortably until a broken leg, complicated by a stroke, required Elmer to move to the Monticello and Nursing Rehab Center. He will be greatly missed by many family and friends.
