Vernon Paul English was the youngest of Wilber and Gladys (Carpenter) English following Elwood (1906), Virginia (1908) and Esther (1909). Following graduation from Newark High School in 1929 he played one year in minor league baseball at Terre Haute, IN, in the IIILeague (Illinois-Indiana-Iowa) during 1935, returning to Newark in 1936 where he married Katherine Varner in Brooke, WV, and they were living with his mother and her parents at 719 W. Church St. By 1937 they lived at 53 N. Williams.
He and Katherine must have followed his more famous brother, Woody English, to Chicago where, by 1940, he worked as a bartender and she as a saleslady. Both years are off by one year on his grave marker as he was born 13 Aug 1911 and died 15 Nov 1943 in Chicago.
Vernon was the father of my older sister, Janis Lea Jenkins Price, who was just honored by First Lady, Karen Kasick, at the Ohio Governor’s Mansion, Jan 23, 2014, for her art work which can be seen at http://lindsaygallery.com/artists/janis-price/ …Patrick O’Flaherty, Lodi, CA
