Harry L. Conrad's Obituary
Harry was raised in the Mills County area near Strahan and attended high school at Strahan. He stopped his education when he was 15 years old to work and help at home during the depression. Harry entered the U. S. Army on August 26, 1942. He served during WW II in Central Europe, Rhineland and Ardennes. He was honorably discharged on December 20, 1945. Harry was united in marriage to Mildred L. Wilson on February 24, 1946 at Malvern, Iowa. They lived a few years in the Malvern area and then Stanton for two years. Harry and Mildred moved to Hawthorne in 1956, beginning a 50-year career with Mr. Edward Wearin, and after retirement, Mr. Leo Smith. Harry was hardworking, honest, kind and highly respected. His vocation was to work, and his avocation was to work. He took great pride in a job well done. Harry enjoyed hunting wild mushrooms and bittersweet, and always knew where the wild strawberries were located. He was a member of the Hawthorne United Methodist Church. Harry was a devoted husband, father and a fantastic grandfather.
Harry was preceded in death by his parents; son, Jeffrey in 2005; and brother, Donald Conrad.
Harry is survived by his wife of 72 years, Mildred Conrad of Red Oak, IA; sons: Joe (Marlys) Conrad of Red Oak, IA and Mark (Sarah McKenzie) Conrad of Hudson, WI; and daughter, Martha (Bruce) Kleinberg of Sarasota, FL; 6 grandchildren: Sarah (Jeremy) Ives of Rolfe, IA, Derek (Abby) Conrad of Council Bluffs, IA, Nick Conrad of Minneapolis, MN, Ben Conrad of St. Paul, MN, Benjamin Kleinberg of Atlanta, GA and Rebecca Kleinberg of Sarasota, FL; 7 great-grandchildren: Joseph and Calleigh Sanders, Shana Ives, Wyatt, Dylan Leigh, Huxli and Rayli Conrad; other relatives and friends.
May God bless his memory and give strength to those who mourn.
