October 31, 1918 — April 17, 2008
Harry Ernest McDaniel of Eureka, died Thursday, April 17, 2008, at Galicia Heart Hospital in Wichita, at the age of 89.
Harry was born on October 31, 1918 to Ernest and Flora (Taylor) McDaniel. He was raised on a farm with four brothers, near Sharon, Kansas, enjoying sports, fishing, and hunting. He graduated from Sharon High School before being drafted into the Army. He served his country proudly in the 633rd Field Artillery Division on the front lines of North Africa, Sicily, and Italy, during World War II. After his discharge, he was united in marriage to Imogene Elizabeth Bonham of Corwin, Kansas on September 4, 1945.
Harry and Imogene’s first home was near Zenda, Kansas, with Janet Kay being born in 1949. They moved to Argonia, Kansas in 1953 where their daughter Karen Ann was born. Harry and Imogene worked side by side farming and harvesting wheat. A registered Angus cow calf herd brought them to the Flint Hills purchasing Greenwood County grass land in the 1960’s. They moved to Eureka in 1972.
Harry was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Eureka, and long time member of the VFW.
