Obituary of Ray Juenger

Conrad Juenger is shown in the picture above with Leonard Juenger.

Conrad Juenger (Coon) was the 8th child of George Juenger Senior.  He was born December 25, 1879.  He married Effie Faulkerson and lived in the Carmi area.  His children included:  George who was born October 23, 1912 near Carmi, IL and died May 2, 1932 in Burnt Prairie, Allan, Ralph, John, Dorothy, Mary, and Ray who was born April, 10,1918.


Conrad's son, Ray, came to live with our parents in Pontiac, IL.  He was one of many young teenage boys who lived with us for a time.  As a result my Mom and Dad became good friends with Ray and eventually his wife Gladys. We were all shocked and upset when he was killed in a restaurant one morning by the estranged husband of one of the waitresses.  The man came in and was about to attack his wife when Ray stepped in to stop him and was shot and fatally wounded.
