ELDON EVERETT DENHOFF,
91, of Kingston, died following a long illness Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010 in Tuscola County Medical Care Facility, Caro. He was born May 4, 1918 in Kingston to Albert and Ina (Everett) Denhoff. He married Laura “Aneita” Green August 24, 1943 in Cass City.
Eldon owned and operated his dairy farm until his retirement. He then worked for Ted Froede Building doing carpenter work for about 10 years. Eldon also helped Fred Ruggles after he sold him the farm. Eldon was a very active member of Kingston United Methodist Church and a member of the Caro Masons where he was recently awarded the Longevity Award. He enjoyed bowling and deer hunting. He would recall many of his hunting trips to the Upper Peninsula before the Mackinac Bridge and talked of the times waiting in the long lines for the ferry to carry them across.
