- Paul Elden Henry
- Grocery store worker. He was born in Ordway, Colorado to Omer Henry and Adola (Stewart) Henry. His father was a farmer and his mother was a homemaker. US Census records show that he grew up in Cowan County and El Paso County, Colorado. To escape the Dust Bowl in Eastern Colorado, they moved to Western Colorado in 1933, when Paul was about eighteen years old. He attended Fruita High School. When it burnt down in 1934, he finished his classes at the Armory. He worked at the Brumbaugh Brothers grocery store, owned by David and Willaim Brumbaugh, for several years. He did deliveries, handled sales, and worked the counter. He married Cora Elizabeth Brumbaugh, David Brumbaugh’s daughter, on October 27, 1935. When the store closed in 1940, he delivered bread and other baked goods for the Fruita Bakery. He also drove the Uintah Stage Coach, carrying people, mail and other items between Mack and Grand Junction. He worked for Morey Mercantile as the manager of the Cash and Carry Department until 1948. He then worked for an organization called Grand Wholesale. He quit Grand Wholesale and became a dairy farmer near Fruita. He enlarged his operation and moved it to Mack, but went broke in two years. He formed a milk producers coop to try and improve the price of milk, but ultimately returned to Grand Wholesale. Frequent nosebleeds forced him to quit again. He became the lead custodian at Fruita Monument High School in 1974 and then at Shelledy Elementary School. He was a member of the Church of the Brethren in Fruita, for which he did missionary work on Glade Park from 1951 to 1956. He died at the age of seventy-five and is buried in Fruita’s Elmwood Cemetery.
