Greenwood Village, Colorado
Harry Bauman, 102, of Heritage Club, Greenwood Village, Colo., died Feb. 6, 2018, after a short illness. He was born Sept. 7, 1915, in St. John, Kan. He was the son of William Henry Bauman and Effie Mae Beaman who preceded him in death. He graduated from Fowler High School with the class of 1932 and started farming soon after. Harry dryland farmed northwest of Fowler from 1936, until his retirement in 1972, at which time he moved to Pueblo, Colo. He moved to Heritage Club in 2013, in an assisted living capacity, before moving to skilled nursing the next year. He is survived by his sons, Donald (Marilyn) Bauman of Wilmington, Del. and Glenn (Janice) Bauman of Centennial, Colo.; four grandchildren, Andy, Alisa, Mark and Amber; and nine great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife of 72 years, Elmina, who passed in 2011; and daughter, Gloria Jean, who passed as an infant in 1945. Two sisters and three brothers also preceded him in death. Harry was very involved in each community he resided. He was on the search/building committee for the new Fowler High School which was occupied in 1965, and he spent time on the board of the Fowler Coop Association. Once retired, he delivered Meals-On-Wheels for many years. He also did volunteer work at the Pueblo Historical Society and farmers markets in Pueblo.

Just saw this as I was looking at family genealogy. My mother Leona Bauman Fields was a cousin, and and kept in contact with Harry and his wife thru the years. She lost touch a few years ago. Mother passed away in 2007 at the age of 93. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Would love to hear from other family members.
Uncle Harry was a kind man of few words unless he was telling a story or answering a question…a man that lived with honorable integrity who was admired by all who knew him! He certainly lived a long, full life; an example to many of how to live it well! We were proud to call him “Uncle”!
Uncle Harry’s precision and excellence in his farming was always an example for me to aspire to, but difficult to achieve.
May God comfort your minds and hearts during this difficult time and may you feel the love and support of friends and relatives. May you always cherish the special memories you have of times you spent with him.
