New York Times, September 20, 1891
The Rev. B. F. Bunting, D. D., a prominent Presbyterian minister, died very
suddenly yesterday on a railroad train at Lebanon, Tenn., where he had been
attending a meeting of the Nashville Presbytery. He walked to the station to
catch a train for Nashville, entered the smoking car, which was unoccupied at
the time, and sat down. In a short time it was discovered that he was sick, and
he died in a few seconds.

Dr. Bunting was one of the most prominent members in the southern Presbyterian
Church. He was pastor of the church at Gallatin, Tenn. and Stated Clerk of the
Nashville Presbytery. He went to Tennessee in 1861, as the Chaplain of Terry's
Texas Rangers, and after the war was called to the pastorate of the First
Presbyterian Church at Nashville. He entirely reorganized the church, doing
earnest work. While there he wrote an interesting history of the
First Church. 

After three years Dr. Bunting returned to Texas and did pastoral work there for
two years, when be was appointed agent of the Southwestern Presbyterian
University at Clarksville to raise the endowment fund. On the completion
of this work he was called to the pastorate of the Gallatin Church, and had only
recently accepted a call to Brunswick, Ga., of which church he intended to
assume charge next week.
