John Ker Munro, 95, of Oak Ridge, died August 13, 2007, at Golden Living Center - Windwood, Clinton, Tenn. John was born Oct. 3, 1911, in Wiarton, Ontario, Canada, to Helen Reikie Munro and John Matthew Munro. John was the oldest of four children. Except for two years of early childhood in Manitoba, John spent his youth in Wiarton. He was inordinately curious about trains as a boy. During celebrations on Armistice Day marking the end of World War I, finding a steam engine in the switchyard fully ready to go and no engineer inside, he climbed up into the cab and proceeded to blow the whistle. This brought the engineers back on the run to discover a 7-year-old kid having the time of his life. He vividly remembered these engineers scrambling up the ladder into the cab, looking down at him, and demanding, "What are you doing here?" In his teens he developed into a strong cross country runner. John was among the last group of young men who went to western Canada on trains to manually harvest the grain. His job was to drive a four-horse team and wagon. He attended the Canadian Pentecostal Bible College in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and, when the school moved, in Toronto. He completed his undergraduate studies at Wheaton College, Illinois, where he graduated in 1935 with a Bachelor of Arts in Bible. He taught at South Mountain Industrial School in North Carolina for a year and then attended Dallas Theological Seminary, earning a master's degree in theology in 1939. He married his wife, Johanna Voget, in Los Angeles, Calif., on Dec. 29, 1937. John was pastor for four years of "yoked" parishes in Ohio: the Cairo Congregational Church and a congregation in Lafayette, Ohio. He joined the faculty of Colu mbia Bible College (now Columbia International University), Columbia, S.C., in the fall of 1944 as the Dean of Men and instructor of Church History. Later, he became director of admissions and at various times taught pastoral care, English Bible, and John and Romans. He completed additional graduate work in history at the University of South Carolina. John retired from teaching and administration in 1977. He continued to read and evaluate senior doctrinal essays for the college for 10 more years. In addition to his responsibilities at Columbia Bible College, John served from 1945 to 1954 as pastor of Sandy Run Baptist Church, now the First Baptist Church of Gaston, S.C. He led the congregation from once-a-month worship services to weekly services and expanded their ministries and programs. John and his whole family were involved in ministry at Gaston all day every Sunday and on Wednesday evenings. Following the end of his ministry at Gaston, John and his family were active members at Forest Drive Baptist Church and then North Trenholm Baptist Church in Columbia. In later decades John often filled pulpits or served as supply pastor in Baptist churches throughout the Midlands. John was a faithful member of North Trenholm Baptist Church from 1962 until leaving Columbia in 1988, singing in the choir and teaching adult Sunday school classes. John and his wife, Johanna, loved music. He played the cornet and a small Concertina "squeeze box;" she was a pianist, organist, and violinist, and the two of them frequently sang duets at weddings, funerals, and other services. John loved to travel. His parents met and married as missionaries to China, where in a sense his life began. In 1931, he and his mother visited Mediterranean Europe and the Holy Land. With his own family he often crisscrossed the country by car, driving almost annually from South Carolina to Ontario, central Indiana, or California to visit relatives. In retirement, he and Johanna frequently flew coast to coast to see family members. In 1983, they made a memorable trip to Europe which included a reunion with her relatives in Germany. John read tirelessly, subscribing to a broad range of theological journals, popular magazines about science, and politics. His students noted his subtle, wry sense of humor and came to appreciate his efforts to help them see and understand several sides to a given issue. In 1988, John and Johanna moved to Oak Ridge, Tenn., where they became active in choirs at Central Baptist Church and John was a substitute Sunday school teacher. In 2000, John moved into the Oak Ridge Retirement Community where he lived until the spring of 2006 when he needed a greater level of care. John was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Marion MacDonald; and his brother, Kenneth Munro. He was also preceded in death by his wife of 68 years, Johanna Fredericke nee Voget, and his youngest son, Robert Bruce Munro. He is survived by a sister, Theodora "Dora" McClure (husband Kenneth), of St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada; sons, Dr. John K. Munro Jr., development staff at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and wife Dr. Nancy B. Munro, research staff at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, both of Oak Ridge; Dr. George Emerson Munro, professor of history, Virginia Commonwealth University, and wife Natasha of Richmond, Va.; and the Rev.

Mrs. Jones was born April 28, 1947, in Oliver Springs. She was a lifelong resident of this area. Mrs. Jones was a loving daughter, mother, grandmother, and sister. She was a faithful member of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. She was a thoughtful, considerate person who touched and inspired many lives through a mail card ministry.

John Ker Munro, 95, of Oak Ridge, died August 13, 2007, at Golden Living Center - Windwood, Clinton, Tenn. John was born Oct. 3, 1911, in Wiarton, Ontario, Canada, to Helen Reikie Munro and John Matthew Munro. John was the oldest of four children. Except for two years of early childhood in Manitoba, John spent his youth in Wiarton. He was inordinately curious about trains as a boy. During celebrations on Armistice Day marking the end of World War I, finding a steam engine in the switchyard fully ready to go and no engineer inside, he climbed up into the cab and proceeded to blow the whistle. This brought the engineers back on the run to discover a 7-year-old kid having the time of his life. He vividly remembered these engineers scrambling up the ladder into the cab, looking down at him, and demanding, "What are you doing here?" In his teens he developed into a strong cross country runner. John was among the last group of young men who went to western Canada on trains to manually harvest the grain. His job was to drive a four-horse team and wagon. He attended the Canadian Pentecostal Bible College in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and, when the school moved, in Toronto. He completed his undergraduate studies at Wheaton College, Illinois, where he graduated in 1935 with a Bachelor of Arts in Bible. He taught at South Mountain Industrial School in North Carolina for a year and then attended Dallas Theological Seminary, earning a master's degree in theology in 1939.
