Author: MEMOIRS OF GEORGIA
0 D. BUNT  farmer and merchant, Bowdon, Carroll Co., Ga., son of John R. and 
Frances J. (Morris) Bunt, was born in De Kalb county, Ga., in 1857. His 
paternal grandfather, Thomas Bunt, was a native of South Carolina, and came to 
Georgia early in this century. He was a soldier during the revolutionary war. 
Mr. Bunt's father was born in South Carolina in 1825, and came to Georgia with
his parents when a child. In 1861 he enlisted in Capt. Potts' company for two 
years, and in 1863 re-enlisted and served until the surrender. He had acquired 
a large property before the war, but lost it all; and when he returned from the 
army he had to make a new start. His maternal grandparents, Obadiah and Sarah 
(Binion) Morris; were native Georgians. Mr. Bunt was reared on a farm, and as 
the war was raging, and school facilities were limited, during his boyhood he 
was favored with but limited schooling. But he had capacity, and with it 
ambition and pluck, and so he pressed forward in the race of life. Without 
money, but with the qualities mentioned, he is fairly on the road to wealth and 
position. He now owns a 350-acre farm of fine land, and has supplemented his 
farm with a general merchandise store, building up a good trade and largely 
increasing his income. Mr. Bunt was married in 1884 to Miss Nora P., daughter 
of L. J. and Ada J. (Hood) Aderhold, all born in Carroll county. Her father was 
a son of G. W. Aderhold, who was born in 1843, and served gallantly in the 
Confederate army under Gen. Bragg, and was a physician of some note. Three 
children have blessed this union: Ethel, Leola and Hettie. Mr. and Mrs. Bunt 
are members of the Methodist church, with cheering prospects of a prosperous 
and happy future.
