| 79 | 1 | Mar, 2023 | ULRICH, WENDELL ALOIS 'SEEDY' | 424/C | 4/1/2021 | Wendell Alois “Seedy” Ulrich, 94, of Western Springs, Illinois, proud WWII Army Veteran, fighting at the Battle of the Bulge. Beloved husband of the late Betty Jo. Loving father of Paul (Jan) Ulrich, Nancy (Kent) Cloninger and Mark (Laurie) Ulrich. Devoted grandfather of Reed (Vanessa) and Russell Ulrich, Sarah (Chris) Arata and Athey Ulrich. Dear brother of the late Glenn (late Della), the late Norman (late Ella May) Ulrich, the late Alvis (late John) Williams, the late Mel (late Barbara) Ulrich and the late Niobe (late Hank) Borman. Fond uncle of many. Wendell was a lifelong active member of Grace Lutheran Church and one of the longest living Western Springs residents. He enjoyed golf and he worked at the Western Springs pool for 19 years after his retirement. Amy Johnson, a teacher at the local high school commented, “Seedy would come each spring to Lyons Township High School to speak to a group of our freshmen. It was invariably a highlight of the year for them. Seedy was so funny and engaging — he would pass around his old ration book and MREs and let the kids try on his helmet while he regaled them with tales from the battlefield. He made the abstract concept of war more real for them, and I firmly believe meeting him helped foster a lasting respect for our veterans.” Reported by Wayne and Lisa Dunn | |

He was born on July 6, 1919, on the family farm in Uniontown to Jay and Hazel McKinnis Underwood. Mr. Underwood graduated from Uniontown High School in 1936 and Fort Scott Community College two years later. In July of 1941, he was called to serve in the military. For three years, he was stationed at Camp Polk in Louisiana with the 7th Armored Division. Before leaving to fight the war in Europe, he married Doris Patterson on May 9, 1944. They were married until her death in 2002. He was shipped to Belgium in 1944 with the 106th Infantry and was captured in the Battle of the Bulge. He was a prisoner of war in Bad Orb Prison Camp in Germany from December 1944 and was liberated in April of 1945.

| 79 | 3 | Nov, 2023 | UNRUH, JACK A. | 106TH | 3/22/2023 | Jack Andy Unruh was born March 7, 1924 in Newton, KS, the fourth child of Harvey and Ruth Unruh and the only son. When Jack was a month old, he had whooping cough. There was nothing the doctor could do and sent him home to die. Ruth nursed him back to health and he later attended 12 years of school without missing a single day. This must be where the Unruhs got their strong constitution. Jack was inducted into the army in 1943, just four days shy of his 20th birthday. He trained at Camp Atterbury in Indiana. He was a member of the 106th Infantry Division at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. He received advanced airborne training and was a test jumper with the 542nd Parachute Infantry Battalion at Camp McCall, North Carolina. This was a lot of traveling for someone who had never been out of Newton, KS, or even been in an airplane! A prime example of Jack's sense of humor can be seen in a photo he had hanging in the basement. The sky is filled with parachutes. Jack wrote the caption, "My 10th jump. I'm the one with the smile". He was involved in securing Luzon in the Philippines. The 11th Airborne Division was then airlifted to Okinawa. For weeks they stood ready to invade or occupy the enemy's homeland. This 21-year-old paratrooper sergeant was one of the first Americans to set foot in Japan after they surrendered. He said one of the scariest days of his life was when he and his buddy had to march down the hill into a village of Japanese and not know if they were aware the war was over and how they would be received. Luckily for all of us they were welcomed and traded chocolate bars and little tokens. Jack was discharged from service in Colorado on February 14, 1946. While being transported back to Kansas by train, he was looking out of the train watching the scenery and saw a car on the highway with a bunch of kids hanging out the windows waving. He told himself that it had to be "those Wilson kids waving. Who else would have so many kids?" (They had four children at the time.) Sure enough, it was his sister Doris Wilson and her family, and they were all thrilled to spot their beloved Uncle Jack coming home from the war. He got off at the next stop and they met up for a joyous reunion, driving together to LaJunta Colorado to stay with sister Maurine. After returning to Newton, Jack worked at Montgomery Ward department store. This is where he met his future bride Donna Schuessler who worked at the store as a stock person/clerk. Jack and Donna were married May 2, 1948. Jack was welcomed by the Schuessler family as one of their own. Many wonderful memories were created with the family fishing on Diamond Creek, hunting the land, making homemade ice cream for family meals, singing "Alfalfa Hay," and debating politics. We always knew we were almost to grandma and grandpa's house when Jack would break into "Holy Smokes The Church is on Fire!" when we turned at their corner where the small church that once stood had burned to the ground. Donna joined Jack's church, the First Methodist Church where they both were active members for many years. Jack served God and the church in many ways over the years, including serving on the Board of Trustees. However, he is also remembered for being a joker and taking the opportunity to preach to entire herds of cattle when fishing at farm ponds. Donna joyfully volunteered at the church helping with communion, serving many dinners with the women's group and visiting shut-ins. Jack would walk in the back door after work and see the freshly baked pie on the counter. He would state "OH BOY, PIE! What's going on at the church?" Following their time at Montgomery Ward, Jack worked as a salesman at the Trading Post and Furniture Exchange. Jack changed jobs and went to work at the newly formed Marshall Furniture. With the growing family, the Unruhs took the plunge in 1964 and bought a house, living there for the remainder of their marriage and Jack until the end of his time on earth. In 1980, Jack, Donna and son Steve purchased Marshall Furniture from Charlie Marshall. Donna became the bookkeeper until her retirement in 2018. Jack continued working well into his 90s and still enjoyed dropping by the store whenever possible to keep his finger on the pulse of the business. In 1978, Jack and Donna became grandparents for the first time. Their grandchildren are Cheryl's children, Sam, Megan and Sarah and Gary's children Erin, Morgan and Kyle. From these grandchildren they now have 10 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren and one more on the way. Jack and Donna established and held to family traditions and taking part in many activities for the sake of sharing family time — activities such as fishing, playing cards and attending the school activities of all the kids. Jack also enjoyed gardening, hunting and fishing and singing silly songs. He was an exemplary role model who consistently exhibited his work ethic and devotion to family. He was responsible and levelheaded and fun to be around. Jack and Donna enjoyed square dancing, fishing, puzzle solving and were avid card players and regularly played pinochle with friends. They vowed that when they were all gone, they would play cards together in heaven. The last one to die is to take the playing cards to heaven with them. For this reason, Jack was buried with two decks of pinochle cards to fulfill their promise. In their later years, Jack and Donna complemented each other well. Donna's declining health made it more difficult to be active, but Donna's mind and spirit were good and she was as sharp as a tack. Jack took on many household and care-giving tasks under her guidance which enabled them to stay in their home together until nearly the end. Jack passed away peacefully on March 22, 2023, having celebrated his 99th birthday just two weeks earlier. He was preceded in death by Donna, his wife of 73 years who passed away June 27, 2021, his parents Harve and Ruth Unruh, infant son Douglas Alan, sisters Helen Lehmann, Dorris Wilson and Maurine Hayes, son-in-law Jack Smith and son-in-law Chuck Willhoite. He is survived by his children Cheryl (Robert) Ferris, Steven (LaNae) Unruh, Gary (Suzanne) Unruh and his grandchildren. Jack was laid to rest with military honors at Greenwood Cemetery on Thursday, March 30, 2023, in a private family service officiated by Pastor Albert Schuessler, Jack's brother-in-law. | |
