Death of Mrs Bunnell 

The death of Mrs J N Bunnell, which was announced on our streets Friday 
evening as having occurred at 5 o'clock, was received by our public with very 
great sadness, and more particularly so with those who were in the least 
acquainted with her. The circumstances surrounding make the case worse tban it 
would be under ordinary conditions. Only one week ago last Thursday was she 
taken sick, and not until Sunday were the services of a physician thought 
necessary. But the seed of tbe disease had become grounded aud it was decreed 
that her life's pilgrimage was at an end. Diphtheria, in its most malignant 
type, had taken hold upon her, and although skilled practictioners and good 
nursing were at hand, their services availed not. The nature of tbe disease 
necessarily prohibited the friends from visiting her, and tendering to the 
grief-stricken husband those little courtesies, which under all circumstances 
are so acceptable, while the customary funeral service was omitted for fear 
results would be disastrous. Mr and Mrs Bunnell came to our city about five 
years ago, when he took charge of the Allen Paper Car-Wheel Co's business, and 
without ostentation, but rather with their quiet, unaffected ways, readily and 
rapidly ingratiated themselves into the good wishes and confidences of our 
people. A perfect gentleman and lady, living in and for each other, on that 
high scale of true manhood and womanhood, their acquaintance was sought, their 
companionship enjoyed. They had become nicely settled in their own home, 
surrounded by all of those comforts and conveniences which make life 
enjoyable, prepared to take life easy for the remainder of their days, which 
at best could be but few, when the All Wise signals and the wife of years is 
snatched away, almost without warning, aud the husband is bowed in grief which 
even time can not assuage. The funeral took place on Saturday, at 2 o'clock, 
the members of the Order of the Eastern Star, of which deceased was Worthy 
Matron, taking charge, and the remains interred at Evergreen cemetery.
