BUNCH, RICHARD M.
(23 Jan 1907, Wednesday, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
RICHARD U. (sic) BUNCH.  R. U. Bunch died at his home, 14 miles southeast
of Elk City, on Friday, January 18, at 6 p.m.  Mr. Bunch had been sick
with pneumonia for fourteen days.  He fought the disease nobly but was
compelled to yield in the end.  He had the best of medical attendance and
was nursed tenderly and carefully.
Mr. Bunch was 29 years old last October.  He leaves a wife and two small
children, aged respectively four and two years.  The funeral was conducted
at the South Methodist church, at this place, Sunday morning, by the
pastor, Rev. Mr. Wright, the interment at the city cemetery.
Mr. Bunch was an honorable, industrious farmer and was respected by all
who knew him.  The neighborhood lost a good neighbor and the country a
good citizen.
(7 Feb 1907, The Canute Leader, Canute, Washita Co, OK):
Death of Richard M. Bunch.
It is with regret that we chronicle the death of this young man at his
home on the first from pneumonia.  Mr. Bunch was a son-in-law of J. F.
Horn and lived on a farm adjoining to his father-in-law.  He was quite
popular with all his neighbors and his death coming so unexpectedly was
quite a shock in the community.  We extend our sympathy to the bereaved
family and bespeak for them the sympathy of all friends.
Richard M. Bunch who death we announce this week, was a member of the Home
Relief Association, and we learn that the association will make quick
settlement of his insurance.
