He was the Grandfather to Clifford Lynn and Donald. We only got verysketchy comments from Lucile about him. He was her father, but wenever knew him and therefore always thought he had died. His birthcertificate shows that he died in 1946. He was a grocery store ownerand a watchman.
Where the death certificate came from is a mystery. It shows that heshot himself, committed suicide at a Fruit Stand on Lewis and Alexiswhile at work shooting himself in the left upper abdomen. His addressat the time was 4722 Douglas Rd, Toledo, Ohio in Lucas County. At thetime he was a watchman at that fruit stand. He was 76 years old andit showed he was widowed, the question was why was he not known?
In 1922 according to notes, Lucile and Lynn traveled to Dewitt Iowaand slept in a tent in a pasture in DeWitt. "The roads were allhog-back clay roads." Presumably the family was together at that time.I think the explanation is that after Helen passed away they just losttrack of John.
From Lucile in 1977 letter:
"Thru my grandmother my father bought a small grocery store in RogersPark, (Chicago) with an enourmous potential but when the verydevastating panic came along in 1907 the wholesale houses wouldn't goalong as he hadn't been paying his bills. He would take 4 or 5hundred dollars & go to pay them, but spent the money in saloons etc.My mother was the brains and had established a counter in one part &sold items, needles, thread, notions, etc and had 4 -5 hundred dollarsthat tided them over till times got better. Of course, "our"customers hadn't been all too prompt paying bills & some of ourcustomers were State St. merchants which didn't help. Theirbusinesses were probably affected as well.
We lost the store to a man who had a personality like a wet blanket soasked my mother to come in and take orders from customers. They wouldwait around for her while the owner did nothing. In those days orderswere taken and groceries we delivered by horse and wagon. The storeprospered no end into a new and large store. My mother had no troublegetting into food departments, in charge of Tea & Coffee departmentsetc."
