Conrad Juenger Family (Conrad Son of Geo Juenger Sr) UPDATED

Ray Juenger son of Coon Juenger with wife and son.

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.

George Juenger Senior aka "Ol Hickory" aka Buck UPDATED

George was known as Ol Hickory because he walked with a hickory stick and used it to beat his wife, Anna. She left him and moved to Nashville. He was known as Buck because he killed the last buck deer in the area after he was challenged that he couldn't do it.

Notice the 2 George Juengers---one died at birth in 1864 and the second was born in 1873 and is our grandfather. George Senior was born in Diezenbach, Hessen Germany. He died on September 13, 1917 when his buggy went out of cotrol because of an automobile. George married Anna Maria Stehl on May 10, 1863 in St Clair County IL. Anna was born on January 25 1845 or 18 December 1846. Anna separated from George and moved to Nashville and ran an hotel which failed. Then she moved to the Carmi area and married Nicholas Logh and lived on Adam Manz farm. Sons George and Conrad worked for Freeburger near Carmi.

Notes from Jan Bollheimer: Great Grandfather George Juenger III, Buck, was born in Dietzenbach, Germany February 3, 1842, son of Heinrich and Susanna (Koehler) Juenger.

He was accompanied to IL in 1846 with his eight year old sister, Susanna Juenger. (See "Juenger Family Journey")
