LAURA ADDIE PORTER BUNN

MRS. LAURA ADDIE BUNN

   Mrs. Laura Addie Bunn was born in Southampton county, September 5, 1875, 
and died February 22, 1920, of pneumonia following influenza. 

   She was the daughter of Mr. W.D. Porter and the late Mrs. W.D. Porter and 
is survived by her father, husband, Mr. Jno. N. Bunn, and ten children, Ray, 
Frances, Ruby, Edward, Jack, Ethel, Bennie, Gladys, Bernice and Evelyn and 
five brothers. 

   She was converted early in life and was connected with the Newsoms M.E. 
Church, and a member of the Womans Missionary Society.  Her life was a busy 
one, never tiring of spending all her time in endless tasks for her family. 

   Kind hearted, neighborly, cheerful and of a happy disposition, she won the 
love of all with whom she came in contact. 

   Her body was tenderly laid to rest in the Newsoms cemetery.  Here a crowd 
of sorrowing friends assembled to attest the high esteem in which she was 
held.  The funeral services were held by her pastor, Rev. C.H. Kidd. 

   Her friends will miss her, the immediate members of her family who lavished 
every possible attention upon her with a word of affection will be greatly 
bereaved, but the consolation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ will soothe and 
sustain and the expectation of glad reunion will encourage a patient 
continuance in well doing.
