Henning was born in Norderstapel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, arrived in America as a 12-year-old, and settled with his parental family on a farm in Clinton County, Iowa. The son of Hans Holst Ehlers (1821-1881) and Wiebke Peters Ehlers (1823-1897), Henning's siblings were: Margaretha Anna Ehlers Dierks, John Ehlers Sr., Hans H. Ehlers III, Anna Ehlers Eggers, Carsten P. Ehlers, Peter Ehlers, and Claus Heinrich Ehlers.
As young men looking for greater opportunities and less expensive, yet fertile, farmland, Henning and three of his brothers migrated to the Reinbeck, Iowa, area. All bought farms on a road that was commonly called "Ehlers Road."
Henning married Schlewig-Holstein immigrant Elizabeth Rosenkrantz (1862-1954) in 1880, and the couple had seven children: Emil Hans Holts Ehlers, Henry Carson Ehlers, Emma D. Ehlers DauSchmidt, Amanda Dorothy Ehlers Worrall, Albert John Ehlers, Arthur Peter Ehlers, and Ralph C. Ehlers. They farmed south of Reinbeck, near Dinsdale, until Henning and Elizabeth retired. They, then, alternated between Waterloo, Iowa, and Long Beach, California.
