Hello Jerry,
My father James Bernard Canning was the youngest of John Chester Canning and Helen
Elizabeth Johnson Canning.
There was a sister named Grace Virginia Canning born Spt. 20, 1923. Not mentioned on
this site are Margaret (who died berfore she was t10 according to my late father)and
Arthur his brother who was 7 years older than Dad. He was known as Uncle Buddy and was a
Chef by profession. He lived in Arkansas, Kansas with his wife Alice. They had no
children. I remember dad mentioning 8 kids in his family but can not remember the other
sibling... I remember Aunt Gertie and Aunt Grace, Uncle Eddie and Uncle Austin.
Dad said he was about 10 when his dad committed suicide because of having been exposed
to Mustard gas in WWI and he was slowly dying from the effects of it. My dad James died
from Agent Orange 10 years after he retired from the USAF after 23 years of service. I am
named after my dad---Jamie.
Please contacat me if you know any other family. I remember also that we had a cousin
Mike in Arizona or thereabouts who was a Police Officer? My brother's name is Mike
also.
