Ancestry
Stanley Dunham's heritage consists of English, Irish and other European ancestors who settled in the American colonies during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The most recent native European ancestor was Falmouth Kearney, a farmer who emigrated from Moneygall, County Offaly, Ireland during the Great Irish Famine and settled in Jefferson Township, Tipton County, Indiana. Kearney's youngest daughter, Mary Ann (Kearney) Dunham, was Stanley Dunham's paternal grandmother.
Through a common ancestor, Mareen Duvall (a wealthy Huguenot merchant who emigrated to Maryland in the 1650s, Stanley Dunham is related to Vice-President Dick Cheney (an eighth cousin once removed). Through another common ancestor, Hans Gutknecht, a Swiss German from Bischwiller, Alsace whose three sons resettled in Germantown, Pennsylvania as well as the Kentucky frontier in the mid-1700s, Stanley Dunham is also related to President Harry S Truman (fourth cousins, twice removed).
Early life
His parents were Ralph Waldo Emerson Dunham, Sr. and Ruth Lucille Armour, from Wichita, Kansas. His father's ancestors settled in Kempton, Indiana in the 1840s.
Ralph and Ruth Dunham were married in a home on S. St. Francis, Wichita. They then opened The Travelers' Cafe on William Street in downtown Wichita. The business was sandwiched right between the old firehouse and the old Wichita City Hall.[citation needed]
The Dunhams were Baptists. Unlike his wife's family, the Paynes, Stanley Dunham did not come from a white-collar background. At age 8, Stanley discovered his mother's body after she had committed suicide. Following his mother's suicide, his father abandoned the family and Stanley and his brother, Ralph, were sent to live with his maternal grandparents in El Dorado, Kansas. He punched his high school principal and was kicked out of school. Described as "gregarious, friendly, impetuous, challenging and loud," he was a furniture salesman "who could charm the legs off a couch." Madelyn's parents did not approve of their marriage, which occurred on May 5, 1940. Stanley's father-in-law refer to him "that wop."
During World War II, Stanley Dunham enlisted in the Army. Madelyn worked on a Boeing B-29 assembly line in Wichita.
After returning from the war, Stanley enrolled at UC-Berkeley on the G.I. Bill. Over the next decade, he and his family would moved from Berkeley, California to Ponca City, Oklahoma then Vernon, Texas then Wichita Falls, Texas and then back to El Dorado, Kansas.
In 1955, Stanley and Madelyn moved to Seattle, Washington, where he got work as a salesman for the Standard-Grunbaum Furniture Company, and where their daughter Stanley Ann attended Eckstein Middle School. They lived in an apartment in the Wedgewood Estates in the Wedgwood, Seattle neighborhood. In 1956 they moved to the Shorewood Apartments on Mercer Island, a Seattle suburb, where they lived until 1960 and where their daughter Ann Dunham attended Mercer Island High School. In 1957 Stanley began working for the Doces Majestic Furniture Company. While living on Mercer Island the Dunhams attended services at the East Shore Unitarian Church in Bellevue, Washington.
Madelyn and Stanley then moved to Honolulu, where he found a better furniture store opportunity. She started working at the Bank of Hawaii in 1960 and was promoted to be one of the first female bank vice presidents in 1970. In 1970s Honolulu, both women and the minority white population were routinely the target of discrimination.
Death
Stanley Dunham died in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1992 and is buried there in the Punchbowl National Cemetery. Madelyn Dunham took care of her daughter in Hawaii in the months before Ann died of ovarian cancer in 1995 at age 52. Her last interview was in 2004, on the occasion of her grandson's keynote address to the 2004 Democratic National Convention....
