ABARBANEL, Bessie "Bea" Gilmore 83, a longtime Chicago-area resident, died Friday (23 Jul 1999) in St. Joseph Hospital in Chicago. Mrs. Abarbanel was born and raised in Waukegan, where her family was one of the founding members of Congregation Am Echod.

AMLING -- Arthur Albert Amling's five decades in business covered flowers, toys and doughnuts. Mr. Amling began his career in 1945 as a partner with his father in the former Amling Brothers Wholesale Florists, Des Plaines. The business was not connected to the Amlings Flowerland chain, which then was operated by Mr. Amling's uncles. Mr. Amling later joined his brothers as a partner in the former Amling's Toyland in Des Plaines from 1955 to 1963. Mr. Amling, 76, died Wednesday, March 15 in Holy Family Medical Center in Des Plaines. Mr. Amling, a lifelong resident of Des Plaines, retired in the early 1990s after 25 years as owner of four doughnut shops, Country Donuts in Schaumburg and Crystal Lake and two other now-shuttered doughnut shops in Mt. Prospect and Palatine. "He was my mentor," said Ted Rood, current owner of Country Donuts in Schaumburg. "He brought me into the business (in 1969) and made me a partner after five years. He showed me the way. He was always willing to help," Rood said. "His word was his contract. You don't find many people like that. He was well-loved by everyone at the doughnut shop." Mr. Amling, a 1941 graduate of Maine Township High School East in Park Ridge, attended Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Ind., from 1941 to 1943, where he studied mathematics. Mr. Amling served in the Army from 1943 to 1945 with the 89th Chemical Mortar Battalion in Europe during World War II. Mr. Amling, a graduate of Immanuel Lutheran grade school in Des Plaines, was a lifelong member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, where he served for many years on the board of trustees and the board of managers for the church endowment fund. "As a trustee he was an overseer of what went on here," said Rev. Richard Mau, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran. "He was also faithful in his worship. He was here every day helping in any way he could. His concern was that Immanuel always look good." "He was very active in the church," said his wife, Virginia. "He loved to travel. He was a great family man." Mr. Amling also served on the board of directors of the former First National Bank, Des Plaines, from 1965 to 1975. Other survivors include two daughters, Melissa Broman and Cynthia Dase; a son, Michael; a sister, Annette Reincke; two brothers, Robert and Victor; and three grandchildren. A service will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday in Immanuel Lutheran Church, 855 Lee St., Des Plaines.

BATCHELLER, EZRA - The funeral of Ezra Batcheller, who died at Grand Haven, Mich., Monday, occurs at that city this forenoon at 10 o'clock and remains will be taken to Lyons, Iowa, for interment.
Mr. Batcheller came to Chicago in 1837 from Paxton, Mass. where he was born Nov. 10, 1820. Arriving in Chicago he entered the employ of Philo Carpenter, who at that primative day was doing business where the lumber market now stands. Mr. Batcheller saw in young Chicago's rapid growth financial gain, and invested in real estate, entering the firm of Holden & Batcheller. In 1865 he removed to Lyons, Iowa, where he entered the real estate business and found a wife. Mr. Batcheller was until ten years ago a prominent and respected citizen of Lyons, being major of the city at one time. In 1880 he returned to Chicago and again entered the real estate business in this city. By dint of hard work he accumulated a large estate. Two years ago his health began to fail him, and last November he went to Grand Haven, Michigan, to visit a sister and try and regain his wanted health. Relief did not come, however, and during the last nine months he failed rapidly, a combination of diseases hastening his end. One of the old settlers, his death will cause many reminiscences of the past among many of those who ar left and whom in his delightful social way Mr. Batcheller was accustomed to entertain. The deceased leaves a daughter, Mrs. J.F. Baker, Clinton, Iowa; a sister, Mrs. Sarah Shippey, Grand Haven, Michigan; and two brothers, Webster Batcheller of Chicago, and Jenison Batcheller, Glens Falls, New York.

BURKITT, John W., Sr., one of the most active, powerful and versatile business men in the history of Arlington Heights and of Palatine, passed away at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning in Park Ridge, having been in a coma since Sunday morning, from a stroke. The funeral service will be at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Hazel Burkitt Schmitz, West Euclid avenue at the North Western tracks, Arlington Heights, Saturday afternoon. This is Mr. Burkitt's home during most of his business career here.
Mr. Burkitt was a true type of the hardy, capable pioneer stock that so rapidly built in this western wilderness a highly developed civilization. Born on a farm on East Euclid avenue, near the present Draper farm, he started his business career working in a tin shop in Arlington Heights, owned by Mr. Ben Kinder, who, in the nineties, still comes down to occasional work in the Kinder shop in Des Plaines. From a tinsmith he developed into a jeweler, having a store at about the same site as the present Arlington Bootery on Dunton avenue near Campbell street.
He had a hardware business along with his jewelry shop, which he moved to a building he built and which is now the Winkelman Tire and Battery shop on Davis street. He made and repaired bicycles in the rear of this shop. He also, about 1899, took over the telephone exchange, which was in this building, and from ten or eleven phones, he built up the business until there were some 250 phones, his children operating the switch board while he looked after the business end. Some of the watches Mr. Burkitt sold 45 or 50 years ago are still in use, and come in for repair once in a while.
Mr. Burkitt for a time in the 80's had hardware and coal business in Palatine. He had a coal business on Dunton street in Arlington Heights, at about the identical site now occupied by the Chicago & North Western freight station. He was also called the "Cherry King" of Illinois. On his farm just south of the intersection of Euclid avenue and the tracks, were picked as high as twelve to fifteen tons of cheeries of choice varieties in a single year. This was before the days of serious fruit pests. To Mr. Burkitt also went the distinction of starting the first commercial garage in Arlington Heights, the cement block building on Davis street next to his former Jewelry shop and now used as an annex by the Gaare Motor Sales. This was erected about 22 years ago, E. M. F. and Flanders cars were sold.
Besides all this, Mr. Burkitt was a great windmill man, he put up most of the windmills in this part of the country. He later erected a commercial garage in Park Ridge, for his son, John W. Burkitt, Jr., which business is now in operation. In 1916, he moved to Park Ridge, and was cared for by his deceased wife's cousin, Miss Lydia M. Decker, who, after the mother passed away, has mothered the entire family.
Mr. Burkitt was a great home man, never drank or used tobacco in any form, and had extraordinary vitality. His illness began by accidental falls in 1918, followed by many sucessive strokes of paralysis, from which he rallied again and again. His physician has been amazed at his vitality. His wife, who was Miss Lydia Pratt of Palatine, passed on years ago, also one son, Granado Burkitt, in 1905. He leaves three children, Ralph E. Burkitt and John W. Burkitt, Jr. of Park Ridge, and the one daughter, Mrs. Hazel Burkitt Schmitz of Arlington Heights. Mr. John Proctor of South Dunton street, said to be the oldest native resident of Arlington Heights is his first cousin. His youngest and last surviving brother, Lorenzo C. Burkitt, passed away in Waterloo, Iowa, about two months ago. A sister, Mrs. Sarah Goldsmith, in Chatfield, Minnesota. He has left a notable number of descendants.
Mr. Burkitt was a member of the summer resort colony of Arlington Heights on the Fox river at Cary, Illinois. (Arlington Heights Herald newspaper, dated April 24, 1931).

The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Allan Billman of Lake Forest, Ill., a friend of the family. Mrs. Grace Lorenzen sang at the home, "A Light Upon the Shore" and "The Sweet Bye and Bye" and at the cemetery, "Sands of Time" The pallbearers were Mr. E. N. Berbecker, Mr. John Proctor, Mr. S. E. Pate, and Mr. George Klenm, all of Arlington Heights; Mr. Hall of Des Plaines; and Mr. Will Whiting of Evanston.
Relatives from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. George Vosseller and son, Edward, of Waverly, Iowa (his brothers Will's daughter, husband and son); Mrs. Carrie Bernard and Mrs. Lizzie Bernard (his sister Sarah's children and Mrs. Bertha Bernard Bailey all of Chatfield, Minnesota, the Misses May and Myrtle Burkitt from Michigan; Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Baldy/Baiday? all from Chewem/Hawen, Iowa, and Mr. and Mrs. Wail? Lecker from River Grove, Ill. Mr. Burkitt was the last of his generation, and these are of the younger.
Mr. Burkitt leaves three children, one having passed away before him, five grandchildren, seventeen nieces and nephews, 76 grand nieces and nephews and 148 great grand... and 9 great great grand..
