The Dalles Daily Chronicle, January 21, 1996
Henry Paul Flaman, 80, a former resident of The Dalles, died at his home in 
Sequim, Wash. on Jan. 17, 1996.

He was born Dec. 23, 1915 in Edenwold, Saskatchewan, Canada.  His parents, 
Jacob Flaman and Marie Kissinger, had emigrated from a German farming enclave 
in what is now Romania to a farming community of German immigrants in Canada.

The family moved to the U.S. in 1921 where they farmed in Washington and 
Oregon state.  They settled in Portland where he attended public schools.

After completing an apprenticeship program in meat-cutting, he worked for Fred 
Meyer Grocers until the outbreak of World War II.  He was employed during and 
after the war in the Portland shipyards.

He married Emma Lucile Bilyeu on June 27 1938 in Portland.  They had a small 
acreage in Oregon City and then  moved to The Dalles in 1947 to begin a 
partnership with his brother, Robert Flaman.

Together the Flaman Brothers operated East Hill Grocery for 25 years and 
developed Hill Top Grocery in The Dalles and Hiway Grocery in Goldendale.  The 
stores later became known as Sentry Super Markets under the umbrella 
organization of United Grocers.

He served on the board of directors of United Grocers during the 1970s.  The 
Flaman family expanded the business to include interests in another grocery 
store in Hood River and a shopping center in Portland.  He and his wife 
retired to Sequim in 1980.

Survivors include his wife of nearly 60 years, Lucile; two sons, Daniel, 
Modesto, Calif., and Andrew, Hansville, Wash.; a daughter, Sherrie Flaman 
Kiefer, Seattle; 12 grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; two sisters, 
Elsie Forncrook, Beaverton, and Mildred Huffstutter, Lake Oswego; and a 
brothr, Lawrence, Waterford, Conn.  Two brothers, Robert and Raymond, and one 
sister Mary Morris, preceded him in death.

A memorial gathering for family and friends will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. on 
Saturday, Jan. 27, at Dominion Terrace Clubhouse in Sequim.  Interment at 
Bilyeu Den Cemetery in Scio will take place at a later date.
