Paul Howard Ganzhorn was born July 14, 1913, to Arthur and Laura (Klutts) Ganzhorn on a farm west of Woodbine, Iowa. Paul attended Willow Valley School and graduated from Woodbine High School in 1932. On August 7, 1933, Paul married Evelyn Chiles at the home of Elder Howard Reynolds. For their first year of married life, the couple lived with Paul's parents. They then moved to the Furbrush place up the road. In 1935, Evelyn's father died and the couple moved to that home to help the family and farm the ground. In 1937, the couple moved to a farm west of town. In 1939, they moved south of Magnolia and lived there for eight years. They moved back to Paul's family farm after Paul's folks moved to town in 1947. The couple lived there until they moved to Woodbine in 1984.
Paul was a member of the Christian Church and the country school board. He loved to go for rides in the country and to play cards and sing.
Paul died Sunday, May 30, 2004, at the Rose Vista Nursing Home in Woodbine, Iowa attaining the age of 90 years, 10 months, and 16 days.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents; a sister in infancy; brother Dr. Harold Ganzhorn; and daughter Janet Ganzhorn in 1953. He is survived by his wife Evelyn of nearly 71 years; son David Ganzhorn and his wife Deanna of Woodbine, Iowa; three grandchildren Lisa, Bill and Tom; one great granddaughter Jayde; sister Stella O'Banion of Woodbine, Iowa; sister-in-law Marilyn Ganzhorn of Mapleton, Iowa; and many other relatives and friends.
