UNCLE DICK's AUTOBIOGRAPHY | |
Father Wendelin Dunker
was my father's uncle. When I was growing up, my grandfather,
Barnwell (Bun), my father William (Doug), and everyone in the
family always referred to him as uncle Dick. I continue to call
him uncle Dick, even though he is my great uncle. My sister and
brother have been interested in geneology for some time, and
Denise managed to track down a great caché of his letters and writings. What follows on these
web-pages are transcripts of 2 separate diaries, that uncle Dick
wrote of his life. I scanned the pages of the diaries, and used optical character recognition on them. Sometimes the results were misspelled, or in poor grammer. The only changes I made were when minor mistakes were made, such as spelling "adn" in place of "and". I did not correct any proper names of people or places, but left them as Uncle Dick spelled them |

First Book Second Book The second diary seems to have been transcribed, from a recording. It had almost no spelling errors, and was organized professionally. |
