Arthur Kunkle lives only to age 23, dying in 1935, as a result of a train mishap on the way back from a trip west to Yellowstone with two friends. His body was found on the rail tracks 18 miles east of Council Bluffs, Iowa. * * * Arthur Ward Kunkle, youngest son of Ward Kunkle and Agnes Kunkle, nee Heise, was born at the family farm home about four miles northeast of Oelwein June 8, 1912. He attended the public school and grew to manhood in that vicinity and all the years of his young life were spent here at the home with his parents and the other members of his family. On July 8, 1924, he was baptized in the name of the Triune God by Pastor Braulick of Zion Lutheran Church, Oelwein. Circumstances at the home and on the farm made it necessary for him to assume a large part of the work and responsibility at an early age. Since he was fifteen years of age, he was practically taking a man's place on the farm. To his parents he was a faithful son, to his brother and sisters he was helpful and always ready to assume his full share of the tasks about the place. Since the sad occurrence that resulted in his untimely end the many expressions of regret on the part of those who knew him indicate the good will he enjoyed in the community. All sincerely sympathize with the family in this time of their grief. His age was 23 years, 3 months, and 3 days. He leaves his parents, Mr and Mrs Ward Kunkle, one brother, Bradford, and three sisters, Dora, Zelma and Olga. Last rites for Arthur Kunkle were held this afternoon. Following a brief service at the Kunkle home northeast of Oelwein, the funeral service was held at Zion Lutheran Church and the body was laid to rest in Woodlawn cemetery.
