Ex-manager of bulk plant dies at 72
Services will be at 1:30 p.m. Monday at the Second Church of Christ for William Weidenburner, 72, former manager of the Johnson Oil Co. bulk plant in Danville.
Mr. Weidenburner of 919 Garfield Place died at 7 p.m. Friday (June 17, 1977) at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, Ind., where he had been a patient a few hours after being transferred from St. Elizabeth Hospital. He had been in failing health several years.
The Rev. Gary Morning will officiate. Burial will be in Sunset Memorial Park. Visitation will be from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. today at Pape Memorial Home.
Mr. Weidenburner served as bulk plant manager of the oil company for 31 years. When the company was bought out by Standard Oil of New Jersey, he became bulk plant manager of the Enco Co. He held that position for about three years before retiring in 1960.
Mr. Weidenburner also had worked at Peabody Mines and at Allith-Prouty.
A member of the Second Church of Christ, he served as chairman of the board and the elders for 16 years. In honor of his years service, he was named elder emeritus. He also was an active member of the Kum Dubble Sunday School class.
Mr. Weidenburner was a member of the Anchor Lodge 980 and a former member of the Danville Chapter, Order of Eastern Star and the Danville Consistory. His hobby was coin collecting.
Born April 4, 1905 in Danville, he was a son of Fred and Della Forshier Weidenburner. He attended St. Patrick School.
On May 11, 1929 in Danville, he married Vercha B. Collom. She died May 6, 1943. He later married Lillian Loraine Alte on Oct. 15, 1944 in Danville. She survives.
Also surviving are two brothers, Albert of Danville and Eugene of Westville, and two sisters, Mrs. Leona Meinert of Joliet and Mrs. Feryl Phipps of Canton, Ohio.
Three brothers and a sister preceded him in death.
The family has asked that memorials be in the form of contributions to the building fund of the Second Church of Christ.
I try to add new material frequently. Please check back often. If you have someone you would like for me to check on, please contact me. I may have to charge for this service.
Just some info:
Please keep in mind that I have lots of time and money invested in this project. Many of the names are family members... some a few (not usually very far) generations down the line. Others are names in my husband's family, brothers-in-laws families and my sons-in-laws families and daughter-in-laws families. Some are related to others in my family tree but not directly to me. All information I have personally gathered. I did not use any information from the Mormon Church's many sites. I have researched everything. Most photos belong to me directly, except the ones that I have given credit too.
My family lines are (note: the * are in my family tree {I still have many to mark.}) Jones, Pugh, Knowles, Prothero, Painter, Owens, Nash, Albright, Watkins, Hall, Edgerton, Willoughby, Draper, Charinsky, Aikin, Moore, Meers, Morgan, DalValley (DalVallee), Monson, Klaman, Breeden, Dora, Russell, Williamson, Arnold, Chism, Siddell, Weindenburner, Gill, Ames, Wallis, Chantos, Keller, Davis, Wilcox, Cox, Pate, Gruber, Palmer, Sullivan, Douthit, West, Butler, Reese, Balsley, Smallcomb and the list goes on.
Some folks, on this blog, are friends or friends' parents. Others are individuals that are on the same page as one of my family.
I am willing to do research for others, however I do charge for extensive research and for the cost of research items. To check in some of our local cemetery records they do charge. Birth and Death records also cost. Before I do that search I will require a deposit in my paypal account. Please ask ahead if I will be charged to help you. Also all of the articles I have, I have paid to make copies of .

Give me a Shout-out About Family History
I am not only looking for and posting my own family history, but others that I have found.
Blank lines means the individual is still living at the time that I post the article. I try not to publish any names of living individuals. This is not always possible, as some folks may still be alive and I don't know them. Sorry if I have posted a name of someone you know for sure is still living. Contact me and I will make their name a blank line.
I have the complete obit if you are related and need more information. Please state how you are related in your email.
