Updated
Johnie Prater, Sr. was born on March 6, 1919 in Blue River, Kentucky to Riley and Cora (Slone) Prater. He was one of 13 children born to Cora (6 by her first husband [Lewis P. Haywood] and 7 by Riley Prater). He served in numerous violent battles in the Pacific theatres of WWII. Upon discharge, he met and married his second wife (Helen E. Addis) with whom he had his only 3 children (Johnie Jr., James E. Sr., and Sallie Lee[stillborn]).
He worked in several coal mines during the mining boom in Kentucky, but finally settled in Michigan in the late 1960s where he worked for Corning Glass until an on-site injury caused his early disability retirement. He and Helen relocated to Norwalk, Ohio is the mid 1970s to be closer to the sons and their respective families who had moved there a few years earlier. He was a devout Freewill Baptist and a Christian since his late twenties; as well as a staunch Democrat -- regularly remembering the difficulties that he and his family faced under Republican administrations all of his life. He died at his home on January 21, 1988... and he has been sorely missed by his family ever since.
Johnie Prater, Jr. was born on November 29, 1946 in Prestonsburg, KY to Johnie and Helen E. (Addis) Prater. He was raised in Floyd County, KY with his younger brother, James E. He relocated with his family when he was about 19yo to Calhoun County, MI. He married his first wife, Margaret Ann Marshall, also from Kentucky in Michigan as her family had also relocated. While living there, they had their only two children, both daughters... but due to his occupation in retail they soon moved around before settling in Norwalk, OH. After relocating numerous times after his daughters were grown and his divorce, he finally settled in Rochester, NY for several of the last years of his life. He relocated to Norwalk, OH to be near his mother a year or so before his death. Suffering from a long-term heart condition that was diagnosed with his first heart attack when he was 41yo, he died at Firelands Hospital in Sandusky, OH on October 31,2019 just a few hours after his implanted defibrillator knocked him to the ground while grocery shopping with his brother. He did have a few hours to talk to his family before his death and hopefully they had a chance to say all that was necessary. He was a Christian and a Republican for most of his life, and he is missed by his family -- obstinance and all.
