REV. G. W. BUNDAY DEAD.

Former Pastor of Rose Bud Circuit Dies of Heart Disease at Upland. Rev. G. W. Bunday, well remembered here as a minister of the Rose Bud circuit of the Methodist Protestant church, was found dead last Sunday morning in the town hall at Upland. He had been elected marshal of Upland and had been serving in that office since Jan. 1, though still preaching on a circuit of three churches. In the discharge of his duties as marshal he had gone to the town hall at 6 o’clock to build the • fires. Two hours later Dr. Zimmlr noticed that the electric lights in the hall were still burning, and entering the hair found Mr. Bunday lying dead on the floor. He called a number of persons to the hall and after examining the body pronounced the death due to heart trouble. The coroner afterward held an autotopey and confirmed Dr. Zimmer’s opinion. Mr. Bunday’s daughters, Goldie and Beatrice, kept house for him. He had left them asleep and they were unaware of their father’s death until awakened by a friend who came to bring them the sad news. Two married daughters also survive him:—one in Montana, Mrs, Ruth Stephenson, wife of Fred Stephenson, formerly of Parr, and Minnie at Mt. Vernon, Ind. Rey. Bunday was three-fourths Indian, his father being a halfblood Miami, and his mother a fullblood Deleware. During* the two years he wars pastor of the Rose Bud circuit 'he and his family made many friends here who will be pained to learn of his sudden death.
