He passed away on Thursday, June 13, at St. Luke's Hospital in Denver as the result of complications from heart surgery, at the age of 77 years, 1 month and 5 days. He was confirmed on October 21, 1927, as a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Immanuel Church in Netawaka and attended Netawaka High School. He was involved in farm and ranch work in the Alvin community north of Wray, Colorado, for several years and worked on several farms in the Wray and Holyoke communities. Henry never married and supported his mother, who lived with him until her death in 1941. He moved to Benkelman in 1976 and even though retired, continued to help nephew Bryon Els with the farm chores and at harvest time. When not helping on the farm, he avidly pursued his two favorite hobbies, fishing and arrowhead collecting. His arrowhead collecting took him to parts of Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado where he made the acquaintance and friendship of many people. He tremendously enjoyed the outdoors which accounted for his love of farming, fishing and collecting and was outdoors whenever the opportunity arose. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers, Fred Els, Hugo and William Banaka, and sisters, Alvina Scheid, Carolina Enyeart, Freda Montgomery, Sophia Krautschun and Minnie Schoonover. He is survived by brother, Carl Els of Benkelman, and sister, Louise Morelli of St. Louis, Missouri, as well as a host of nieces and nephews. Services were held Monday, June 17, at the Jones Funeral Chapel of Benkelman. Pastor Vernon Whetstone officiated. Peggy Roesener accompanied Julia Janicke with selections "Beautiful Isle Of Somewhere" and "How Great Thou Art." Bearers were Eldon Roesener, Randy Weiss, Don Poe, David Wilson, Walt Bradford and Rex Shaw. Honorary bearers were Kenneth Weiss, Edgar Groseclose, Al Anderson, Norman Schutz, Lester Shaw, Harold Banaka, Lester Criger and Everett Walgren. Interment was in the Benkelman Cemetery with arrangements by Jones Funeral Home of Benkelman. Benkelman, NE Post, June 1985
