Rusty was born Jan. 27, 1915, to James Munkres and Mertie Mason Munkres. He passed from this life Feb. 24, 2017. He was born and raised four miles north of Ames on the farm his father staked in the land run of 1893. He attended school at Forest Home School. He married Louise Mallory, and they lived on the farm southeast of Ames, where they farmed and raised cattle. They were married for 65 years, until her death in 2003. Rusty was drafted into the U.S. Navy and served in WWII on board the U.S.S. Gosper (APA-170). They participated in the Okinawa invasion, among other tasks during and after the war. He was then honorably discharged with the rank of Seaman First Class. During the war, a son, Raymond Dale was born. After the war it was back to the farm. Also there was much hunting and fishing to do with friends and family. Later, another son, John Mark was born.
Rusty was a fine musician and he played with his brother for many dances in his younger years. In the late 60's he started playing again and played for dances and jam sessions for many years. The locals marveled at how Rusty was able to recall people, places, and names from the past, as well as local history.
