Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter, May 4, 1894
Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter, May 4, 1894:
	“Dr. J. A. Jackson was called from Madison Wednesday evening to perform 
a surgical operation upon Job Bunting of Albion Prairie, in which he was 
assisted by Drs. Lord and Atwood, of this city. The patient and family fully 
understood that the operation was a dangerous one, but thought it was the only 
chance to prolong life. The operation was performed during the early part of 
the evening, but Mr. Bunting never rallied from its effects, death occurring at 
1 o’clock am.”

From the Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter, May 11, 1894:
	Obituary-Job Bunting. Job Bunting of the town of Albion has finished 
his course, having died Thursday, May 3rd, ’94, full of years and good works, a 
man of God. Mr. Bunting was born in Farnzley, Derbyshire, England, September 
2nd, 1823, where he spent the first 21 years of his life, coming to America in 
August 1844 with quite a number of his boyhood companions and settling in 
Albion, Dane County, where he continued to reside with a few years exception, 
until his death.”

	“In August 1847, Mr. Bunting was married to Mary Noble. With her he 
lived in delightful relations 47 years. To them were born 13 children, 6 of 
whom still live to mourn with the widowed wife the unexpected death of one 
dearly beloved.”

“Mr. Bunting was converted before coming to America and united with the 
Primitive Methodist church, with which he retained his membership in this 
country, until he, with several others, withdrew and united with the Methodist 
Episcopal church. He was a consistent Christian, a good citizen, a devoted 
husband and a kind and true father.

Mr. Bunting will be missed from the social life of Albion Prairie, to which he 
was a genial companion and respected associate. But more, he will be missed in 
the church life, at the social meetings in which he always had a part, and in 
the public congregations from which he was rarely absent. He always held 
official relation in his church and was faithful to his duties. His burial took 
place from the church in which he had so long and delightfully worshiped, on 
May 5th, 1894, at which his entire family were permitted to be present, his 
pastor, Rev. S. A. Olin officiating, assisted by Rev. Mr. Baker of the P. M. 
Church. The very large congregation in attendance attesting the esteem in which 
he, one of the oldest citizens, was held. He was buried in the PM Cemetery 
where his remains await the general resurrection. “They will not say goodbye in 
heaven.”

	In the same issue of the newspaper was this clipping: “Mr. GEORGE 
BUNTING of Dodgeville, and two grandchildren are visiting here among their many 
friends. Mr. BUNTING was called here by the death of his brother.” Also on that 
date was this ‘Card of Thanks’ from the family:
	The undersigned would hereby express their gratitude to the friends who 
so kindly rendered them timely aid and sympathy during the sickness, death and 
burial of our dearly beloved husband and father. Mrs. Mary Bunting and family.”
