Obituary - Barnesville Enterprise - Benjamin Hunkler: Benjamin Hunkler, a member of the firm of Hunkler Brothers' Restaurant and Bakery, died atWheeling Hospital, Wednesday afternoon after being there for treatment since Sunday morning. Mr. Hunkler had been in his usual rugged health until Saturday afternoon when he was suddendly taken ill, the cause of the trouble, at first being baffling to his physician. He lost consciousness Saturday night when he was taken to the hospital. The cause was pronounced cerebral hemorrhage, and later developed meningitus, from which he never rallied. The decedent was forty five years of age. He was born on the property north of town known as Bradfield farm, where he grew to young manhood. Twenty-one years ago he and his brothers came to town and established the well known Hunkler business, which has prospered throughout the years. Mr. Hunkler was a baker by trade and had devoted the greater part of his time at the head of that department. He was a hard worker, abounded in energy, and had met but few trials in life that he could not overcome by shear grit and strength of will. As a husband and father, he was all a man should be. Passionate in his devotion to his family, he did everything in his power to add to their pleasure and comfort, and in going from this world of trials and strife, leaves ablessed memory to those who are left that will be cherished by them, solong as life endures. He is survived by a wife and six children, Lillian, Helen, James, Ruth, Louis, and Esther Hunkler, and his mother, Mrs.Barbara Hunkler. He also leaves six brothers, Frank, William, Sylvester, Clem, John, Charles Hunkler and one sister, Lucy Hunkler.
