p. 1009 (Washington Twp.):
"JOSEPH L. SHUNK, A.M., Professor of Latin and Greek in Mt. Union College: was born in Wilmot, Stark Co., Ohio, Sept. 14, 1844; he is the son of Joshua and Christina (Putman) Shunk, she a native of Ohio, he of Pennsylvania; Mr. Shunk was a cabinet-maker, and conducted his business in Wilmot for many years; about 1849, the unwelcome messenger of death called him from his wife and four helpless children, viz., Elizabeth (now wife of Capt. D. Bash), Joseph, Mary (now Mrs. Henry Reed) and J. Putman. Our subject was the second of the family, and, at the time of his father's death, about 5 years old; until 14 years of age, he resided with and was cared for by his mother's father. In the meantime, he had acquired a fair common-school education. When he was 14 years of age, he received of his grandfather a colt for that summer's service, and for subsequent work he was paid a small salary. In 1860 and 1861, he attended Greensburg Seminary during the spring and summer terms, and applied himself at teaching through the winter months in order to secure means of support while struggling to obtain a more thorough education. In June, 1863, he enlisted in Co. A, 86th O.V.I., and served until Sept. 20, 1865, when he received his final discharge. On returning from the army, he resumed teaching, and continued for several winters. In 1866, he purchased an interest in a dry goods store in Wilmot, with Capt. D. Bash, under whose supervision the store was conducted, and from which partnership Mr. Shunk withdrew in 1880. He entered Mt. Union College as a student in May, 1874, and took a full classical course, and graduated in 1877; he had resolved to enter the ministry at the close of his collegiate course, and accordingly was licensed to preach by the North Ohio Conference of the M.E. Church, in 1877; at the same time, he took charge of a class in the college, and has since held the Professorship of Latin and Greek languages in that institution, while his relation to the church is unchanged, and for which he frequently officiates as minister. Dec. 16, 1869, he married Eretta Wolf, daughter of Dr. Samuel Wolf, of Wilmot.
