Junkens, 62, had been in ill health for many months and we didn't think he could possibly be with us much longer, it was indeed a shock when we were informed over the phone Tuesday evening about 8 o'clock that he had passed on. We had seen him during the afternoon and thought he was better. The doctor said when he fell that he was gone before he hit the floor of his home in the west part of the city. Deward was born on the farm near the Maplewood school house and had lived here off and on all his life. They just moved to town a few weeks ago. He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Kate Junkens, one son, Jack, who is in the army and stationed in Massachusetts, and one daughter, Mrs. Leona Reppert of Independence, and a grandson. Deward worked as boss at the mines some years ago, and then went to Detroit and worked at the Ford plant for ten or twelve years, but came back and went on the farm. He was director of the Maplewood school when he moved to town. The Junkens family have lived in Cherokee several different times. Some years ago when Deward was boss at the Cuckoo mine south of town, he was also a member of the city council, and a good one. The Junkens are very dear friends of the Sentinel family and we visited them often when they were on the farm, in fact Mrs. Sentinel would rather go out there than any place we know. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church with Rev. Fred Clark of Paola, a special friend of the family, in charge, assisted by Rev. J.S. Bottoms. Burial will be in the Cherokee cemetery.
