Mary J. Knight Bunker Service, Held St. George Ward Chapel Saturday

Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon, May 6, for Mary Josephine Knight Bunker, 90, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Nina Hazzard, in Logan, Wednesday, of causes incident to age.

The service was conducted by Bishop Lee Esplin of the Fifth ward in the Second ward chapel, with Mrs. Winnie Seegmiller at the organ. The speakers were Albert E. Miller and A. K. Hafen and Mrs. Josephine Walker, a daughter, gave a short sketch of her mother’s life. W. W. McArthur gave the invocation and Andrew McArthur the benediction with Orval Hafen dedicating the grave in the city cemetery. Mrs. Marie Meeks and Mrs. Walter Brooks sang “Prayer Perfect” as a duet; Walter Fullerton, sang a vocal solo, “Thy Will Be Done,” and a ladies trio, Mrs. Melba Baker, Mrs. Ruth Miles and Mrs. Vera Blake, sang “Lead Me Gently Home, Father.”

Mrs. Bunker was born in Provo, October 8, 1859, to Samuel and Caroline Beck Knight. Her parents were called to the early Dixie mission and they lived in Santa Clara for some time. Her mother was an invalid, and she died when the children were quite small, so she had to work to help the family and care for her father.

She married Stephen Albert Bunker, Jan. 1, 1879, and they moved to Bunkerville, which was then being settled. Here she pioneered and went through many hardships, with bad water and hauling supplies long distances.

Mrs. Bunker was the mother of ten children, seven of whom survive. Albert Bunker, St. George; Helen Chamberlain, Salt Lake City; Nina Blazzard, Logan; Hazel Kartchner, Ogden; Josephine Walker, and Ben Bunker, Delta, Utah. She spent a great part of her life on ranches near Pangultch and later Grass Valley, Washington county. The past few years she has made her home with her daughters in Logan, Ogden, and Salt Lake City. Her husband died in 1927.
