Gospel Advocate Obituary:
J. C. Bunn, a faithful preacher of the gospel for 77 years and a gospel song writer, died February 2 at the home of his daughter and son-in-law in Seattle, Wash. Brother Bunn began preaching in 1900 at the age of 18. He served churches in the Midwest until moving to Wenatchee, Wash., in 1931. He labored in the Pacific Northwest from 1931 until his death. He established several congregations in the northwest as well as strengthening older ones. He preached regularly until bad health forced him to retire in May, 1977. J. C. Bunn loved God, the church of God and lost souls. Love compelled him. His concern for God's kingdom around the world demonstrated itself in his correspondence with missionaries, helping several financially, sending bundles of Christian literature and even empty pill bottles to medical missionaries. A great soldier of the cross has gone home. Before his death he requested that any memorials be sent to Columbia Christian College, 200 N.E. 91st Ave., Portland, Ore. 97220, where a scholarship fund has been established in his name. Submitted by Arnold Burkett, minister of the Northwest church of Christ, 1147 N. 81st, Seattle, Wash. ---Gospel Advocate, March 16, 1978, page 173.
