"Not Found" Shawnee Mission East HS 1960 classmates - 13 Oct 2001 - Russ May ============================================================================ This list summarizes some information about Shawnee Mission East 1960 classmates with unknown address (or date of death) which I learned while searching for them. These data are "clues" for finding them. It does not include the MANY clues which yielded negative results or no reply, or a few telephone numbers which I have not called. Full names are derived from various sources. "grad" is shown only if the name was not in the 1960 commencement program. "reunions" is status in 1970 and 1985 reunions. 1970, 1985 mostly refer to reunions in those years. 1970, 1985 address or spouse name are derived from reunion books. "1960 addr" is address listed in 1960 SME school directory. "Polk info" is from Polk city directory, mostly to indicate addresses of parents and siblings. Persons with the same address in the 1959 or 1960 Polk directory as a classmate's 1960 address are presumed to be parents (or step-parents?) of classmates. Polk directories before 1955 and for 1956, 1957, 1965, 1967 are missing. Siblings & cousins mostly are derived from SME 1959, 1960, 1961 directories. Siblings had the same last name and address. Question marks indicate same last name but unknown or different addresses. "SWB info" is information from a Kansas City phone book "Yearbook" is mostly the Senior summary from 1960 Hauberk. "Directory" is SM East 1960 school directory unless noted otherwise. "SSDI info" is the Social Security Death Index "possible deceased" are on SSDI with name same as a classmate and birthday in 1942 or early 1943. "probably deceased" are on SSDI with names similar to parents or relatives. ============================================================================ If you have more information which might help to find these classmates, please e-mail it to me: . Personal knowledge or names of relatives are most helpful. -------------------------------------------------------------- I would also like to have a copy of any SM East directory from 1962 to 1965 or any SM (North) directory from 1955 to 1960. These would help to find siblings of 1960 classmates, and they might be helpful for other classes to find their classmates. ============================================================== Barbara Ilene Abrahams reunions: not found in 1970, not found in 1985 1960 addr: 7668 High Drive Polk info: Philip J (Josephine) Abrahams 7668 High Drive 1959 mgr Sidney's Philip J (Josephine) Abrahams 3101 W 79th Ter 1960..62 mgr Sidney's Barbara I Abrahams 3101 W 79th Ter 1960..61 studt Philip J (Josephine) Abrahams 5717 W 98th St 1963..77 mgr Sidney's Josephine Abrahams 5717 W 98th St 1978 Ov.

Brother's obituary from Kansas City Star 27 Sep 2001: EDWARD DALLAS FUNK JR. Edward Dallas Funk Jr., 57, of Olathe, KS, passed away September 23, 2001, at his home. He was born March 5, 1944, in Tampa Bay, FL, the son of Edward Dallas Funk Sr. and Belva (Webster) Funk. He moved to Olathe from Kansas City, MO, in 1979. He was of the Baptist faith. He graduated from Shawnee Mission East High School, and attended Wentworth Military Academy his junior year. He was in the U.S. Army Reserves for six years as a sharpshooter. He worked at Olathe Medical Center as an Operating Engineer for 18 years. Edward had a love for motorcycles. He was preceded in death by his father. Survivors include his wife, Lavata (Douglas) Funk, one son, Brandon Funk, twin daughters, Dominie and Navata Funk, all of the home, his mother, Belva, of Olathe, and one sister, Francine Funk, of Topeka, KS. Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Saturday, September 29, at the W.L. Frye and Son Funeral Home.
