Richard Slattery, father of Robert Slattery
DAVENPORT — Richard Gates Slattery, 94, of Davenport, died Thursday, March 22, 2012, at his home. Committal services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, March 26, 2012, at the Rock Island National Cemetery, Rock Island Arsenal, where military honors will be presented by American Legion Post #26, Davenport. Those wishing to attend are asked to meet at Weerts Funeral Home, Kimberly at Jersey Ridge Road, at 9:45 a.m. Monday to join the procession onto Arsenal Island. Memorials may be made to St. Mark Ev. Lutheran Church, Davenport.
Mr. Slattery was born in Portsmouth, Ohio, in 1918, to Oscar S. and Mabel Slattery. His parents and he lived there until he started school and the family moved to Washington, D.C. As a boy, his activities included Boy Scouts, falconry, hunting, camping and fishing. After high school his interest in archeology strengthened and he developed a relationship with archeologists at the Smithsonian. He was offered a summer field job in archeology in Kansas and Missouri as a crew member. This job continued for three more summers while he attended George Washington University, and from where he received his degree in geology. In 1941, World War II was looming and archeology had low priority. So he took a position at Martin Aircraft Company in Baltimore as a final inspector on the construction of B-26 Bombers. He then enlisted in the Army Air Corps, serving with the occupation forces in Japan, and after 18 months was discharged as a sergeant. He was then employed as a research assistant at the Geophysical Laboratory in Washington, D.C. During that time in Washington, he met Marjorie Alberts on an Appalachian Trail Club hike and they later married on December 26, 1948, in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin. He and Marjorie spent 15 glorious years living in their log cabin on six acres of wooded land with their two boys in Rockville, Md. After his contract in D.C. was completed, he was employed as a management analyst at the Headquarters Chemical Corps and worked there until the Army reorganized and he was transferred to the Weapons Command Headquarters in Rock Island, in 1963. He retired in 1973. Following his retirement, he became employed as an archeologist with the Office of the State Archeologist at Iowa City. There he preformed all duties of a senior archeologist until he retired a second time with 20 more years experience of Iowa archeology behind him. He wrote many large reports and publications on archeology. During the 1980s, he and his wife traveled the world including 22 countries and maintained a farm of 110 acres in Wisconsin. He enjoyed vegetable and flower gardening, walking in the woods and watching the antics of the backyard squirrels.
Survivors include his wife of 63 years, Marjorie; son, Ed (Mary) Slattery of Des Moines; daughter-in-law, Marianne, of Albuquerque, N.M.; and grandchildren, Brendon, Emily, Benjamin and Hannah Slattery. He was preceded in death by son, Robert (2003 sic*), and his parents.
