33. John Frederick SCHUNK

  John Frederick SCHUNK (presumably named for his two grandfathers) went by his middle name all of his life, most commonly as Fred, but he was also known by the nickname Fritz. During the 1920's, his family moved from Farmington, Illinois, to Peoria where he graduated from Peoria Central High School.

  Shortly before the birth of his first child during World War II, Fred was drafted into the Army. He served in the Quartermaster Corps and was stationed in India. He worked in the wholesale grocery business most of his adult life and was employed by Chris Hoerr & Son Company for several years after the war. From approximately 1951 to 1953, he owned and ran his own small grocery store in Peoria Heights, and then he returned to Chris Hoerr until his retirement about 25 years later. Fred was an avid sports fan all of his life, particularly for the Chicago Cubs baseball team.

  Fred and his second wife LaVerta lived in Peoria during the summer months and in the St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida, area in the winter months. Fred died of a sudden heart attack at their apartment in Peoria.

Martha Elizabeth WHITEKER

  Martha Elizabeth WHITEKER went by the nickname Betty, and her family moved from Kentucky to Peoria, Illinois, when she was about 2 years old. She graduated from Peoria Central High School in the same class (1932) as her husband; they dated about five years before being married. The Whiteker family had long been Methodists, but Betty transferred her membership to First Baptist Church in Peoria where Fred enjoyed playing basketball in the church gym. They were both life-long members there.

  Betty worked as a secretary until her son's birth and then never worked outside the home again. She believed strongly that being a mother and homemaker was a full-time job. She loved to play the piano, which she played mostly "by ear," and in later years she enjoyed playing the organ. About seven months after it was diagnosed, she died of pancreatic cancer at home (3015 N. Wisconsin Ave. in Peoria).
