John was not a true "Junior" but his family called him that anyway,probably because he was
the youngest. He did not even like his firstname and preferred being called "Van" according
to his children. Children remembered him as being a cold, distant person, not someoneto be close to. Has unlinked child #4859. Residences & events: Decatur, Macon Co, IL. 1938 CA. Following the death of his mother he left, ending up in thefurthermost point in the US. He never returned and had little, ifany, communication with the family after that. Uncle Elmer Van Gundysent some money as a wedding gift and sister, Helen, visited once in1961. |
