OBITUARY: Obituary - Barnesville Enterprise - Michael Hunkler: In the early hours of Thursday, January 1, 1914, death came as a relief to Mr. Michael Hunkler, who was stricken with paralysis about three years ago. From the first attack he was not deprived of going about his work, but later ones caused his body and mental faculties to gradually fail, and as the weeks and months passed by he sank, quietly sleeping away until the end. Mr. Hunkler was born at Sharpsburg, Pa., January 24, 1846 and as a small boy came to Ohio, settling in Monroe County. In 1886 he came to Warren Twp., and until last November lived on a farm north of this place, at that time taking up residence on Euclid Avenue in this place where death occurred. In 1869 he married Miss Barbara Burkhart, who, with seven sons and one daughter, survive. They are Messrs. Frank, Benjamin, William, Sylvester, John, Charles and Miss Lucy, all of this place, and Mr. Clements Hunkler of Akron. He is also survived by one brother, Mr. John Hunkler, of Miltonsburg; four sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Burkhart of Barnesville; Mrs. Lena Dorr, and Mrs. Barbara March, Pittsburg, and Mrs. Kate Miller, of Missouri. The deseased was a devout member of the Catholic Church, where the funeral took place at nine o'clock Saturday morning, conducted by Father Robbins. Burial was made in the Catholic Cemetery in the south part of town. Mr. Hunkler was one of our best German American citizens. He was the father of a large family, a devoted husband and a kind neighbor, and honest, upright and honorable in every way, conducted himself in such clever manner that no one could ever say aught against either his character, reputation or standing as a citizen.
