Obituary
Charles E. Hunger, 82, of Burlington, Iowa, passed away at 12:25 PM Sunday, June 17, 1990, at Elm View Care Center. He was born March 27, 1908. He was the only son of Edward Hunger and Hulda Johnson, whose parents operated the grocery store at the corner of Harrison Street and Madison Avenue. His father, Edward, a tobacco and cigar processor, died when Charles was two and a half years old. So, not remembering his father, he was taken on Father's Day. They continued to live with the grandparents. His step-father was Harry Hunt who was the Des Moines County Sheriff for several terms. Charles was in the service during World War II. He told of meeting Princess Elizabeth, now Queen of England, in a Veteran Center; so charming and friendly as she greeted the soldiers one by one. There will be a committal service at Aspen Grove Cemetery Wednesday morning at 11:00. Rev. Darryl Bockting will officiate. Prugh Funeral Service is in charge of arrangements. Friends may call Tuesday evening at Prugh's until 8:30 PM.
