While doing volunteer data entry at our local library in Ontario,
California, I came across this obituary which might be of some interest to
someone on this list. This does not relate to any surname that I am
researching personally. Nancy

John Ira Kunkle, 72, of 855 E. Fourth St., died last night after
an illness of two months. He had lived in Ontario since 1942.
A native of Creekside, Pa., Kunkle moved to Los Angeles in 1923,
where he lived until he came to Ontario. He lived in Montana from 1910 to 1923.
Kunkle, a plastering contractor, was the husband of Elsie A.
Kunkle, who died Jan. 24.
Surviving are a son, R. Dean Kunkle, of 779 E. Seventh St.,
Upland; two sisters, Mrs. George Nesbit, of Creekside, Pa., and Mrs. Emma
Lytle, of Indiana, Pa., and two brothers, Stacey E. Kunkle, of Culdesac,
Idaho, and Jesse M. Kunkle, of Indiana, Pa.
Kunkle was a veteran of the Army of the United States, Troop I, of
the Fifth Cavalry Regiment. He served in Arizona Territory before it was
admitted as a state. After his discharge in 1906, he moved to Montana,
where he engaged in construction and farming.
Funeral services will take place [unreadable] a.m. Wednesday at
the J. B. Draper Memorial Chapel, with Rev. C. Eugene Barnard, pastor of
the Westminster Presbyterian Church, officiating.
Interment will be at Bellevue Cemetery.
