 Wesley ("Bunk) Wilson Hansbery, June 29 1918    Wes Hansbery was born to Wesley Clinton Hansbery and Linna (Hammer) Hansbery on June 29, 1918. The Hansberys were well off, Wesley Sr. having owned the local General Store in their small town of Hillsboro. When he was born Wesley Jr. already had a nickname, which was then Bunker Bean (shortened to Bunk), from a musical Linna and Wesley Sr. had seen while pregnant in Chicago. Bunk later remembered "cleaning" his father's store before the customers came, simply tossing a rag across the merchandise.      Every now and then, he said, he would steal a hunk of bread or cheese, enjoying his snack until Wesely Sr. found out.
