NEWSPAPER issue of Wednesday, October 30, 1907 BACON LEVEL News Just as the golden ark of day sank beneath the western horizon last Wednesday, Oct. 23rd, the spirit passed from the weary body, and the soul of Austin Bunch took its flight to enter the rest prepared for the saints of God. For long months he had lain upon his couch in the home of his devoted daughter Mrs. S. E. Bradshaw, calmly awaiting the summons "come up higher." It is no exaggeration to say that Bro. Bunch was one of the best men we ever knew. He was and had been for over 50 years a humble, earnest, consecrated follower of his Master, a deacon in the church, an exemplary citizen, a faithful soldier in the Mexican War and Civil War and a man that the young could safely pattern after. Bro. Bunch was born in Greene County, Georgia April 21, 1823 and was 84 years, 6 months and 2 days old at the time of his death. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.H. Henry and the interment was by the side of his wife at the old family burial grounds in Troup County, Georgia (Transcribed by Candace [Teal] Gravelle http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00023.html#0005680 September 26, 2005) + This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.0 Kb
