Description
Photograph of Wesley Glenn Ritenour as a young man.
Wesley was from Fort Valley, the son of George Morgan Ritenour, a farmer, and Sarah Frances McInturff.
He married Isabel Inez Funk (1896-1978) when he was 21 years old.
As newlyweds, they lived with Isabel’s parents, Robert E. Lee and Luella F. (Ritenour) Funk, on a farm in the Johnston District of Shenandoah County.
Wesley was appointed Postmaster of Seven Fountains in 1927. When Wesley registered for the WWII draft, his occupation was at the “Standard Lime & Stone Co.” in Strasburg but his residence was still Fort Valley.
Years later, the 1950, the census found them still in the Fort where Wesley farmed but also ran a general store.
The couple had many children through the years including Mildred F., Margaret L., Hunter Lee, Robert M., Maynard, Wesley Jr., and George H.
When he died, Wesley had already retired from farming.
