While growing up in [[Russia|Russia]] Henry pursued an education that qualified him to enter the teaching profession.

<br />
When the difficult times came, Henry, his parents and siblings were forced to pull up roots and move to [[Canada|Canada]]. Because of the new language and customs it was clear his ambition to be a teacher would have to be put on hold. Henry and Sara purchased property in the Sonningdale area of Saskatchewan, built a log home and gradually built up a mixed farming operation. In 1949 Henry and Sara decided to pull up stakes and move to Ontario primarily because they felt schooling opportunities would be better in Ontario.<br />
<br />
Henry and Sara and their five children settled in the Leamington area of Ontario and developed a new farming operation based on production of cash crops like tomatoes, [[Tobacco|tobacco]], strawberries and asparagus. Soon a sixth child was born. While operating the farm Henry's mind was often on Russian Mennonite history as demonstrated by his frequent correspondence with Dr. David Rempel, a cousin and professor in that field at the College of San Mateo in [[California (USA)|California]].<br />
<br />
In 1987 the Pauls retired from farming and rented the land to a neighbor and friend in the area. Soon after retiring from farming Henry felt a need to record as much information as he could about his childhood in Russia.
