ST. IGNATIUS - On Wednesday, Oct. 6, 1999, Henry "Hank" Zeiler, 77, went to be with his wife and family who have gone before him.
Born on Sept. 24, 1922, to John and Blanche (Boyd) Zeiler in Sidney, Hank was raised in the Bitterroot until age 15 when his family moved to the Mission Valley. They lived at Moiese and North Crow Creek before moving to the old Conko Place near McDonald Lake.
Hank married Mae Quaring in 1954 and they made their home across from the Mission Church in St. Ignatius since. Hank, who served in the Army during World War II, worked at farming, construction and at the mill. However, he will always be best known for being ornery and his coffee.

Survivors include his children, Alane, Chuck, Charlotte and Tony; his stepchildren, Carolyn, Joan and Donna; brothers and sisters, Elsie Richardson of Cheyenne, Wyo., Jim Zeiler of Ninemile, Frank Zeiler of Townsend and Minnie Wheeler and Lyle Zeiler, both of Arlee; 17 grandchildren; and numerous great-grandchildren.
