Mrs. Bunger
Dies In West

Mrs. Goldie C. Bunger, 64, formerly well-known Lewisburg woman and widow of the late Robert E. Bunger, Preble County's first highway superintendent after the county road system was established, died at 11:15 p.m. on Tuesday of last week at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. John Estes, in San Francisco, Calif., following a critical illness of approximately eight months. Funeral rites were conducted by the Rev. Lorin L. Spenny Tuesday afternoon from Trinity Lutheran church, of which she had been an active member for many years before she moved to California. Burial followed in the family lot in Roselawn cemetery. The body lay in state at the church from noon until the time of services at 3:00 o'clock, prior to which it had been at the home of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. F.E. Hoerner, from the hour of its arrival late Sunday evening. It was accompanied east by her two daughters, Mrs. Estes and Miss Marianna Bunger, who remained until after the final rites. The funeral was to have been held Monday afternoon but was postponed for one day because the train on which the body and the daughters came east was 18 hours late due to the floods in the west and also because the two latter were so weary from the long hours of travel.

The funeral was also attended by tow of her three sons, Lt. Com. David E. Bunger of Jackson, Miss, and Lt. (j.g.) Samuel J. Bunger of Pensacola, Fla., the former's daughter, Carol, and Mrs. Samuel J. Bunger. Another son, George Burton, could not be here.

Mrs. Bunger left here April of 1950, to make her home with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. George Burton Bunger, and family at Vista, Calif., but late the same year, she became ill and the following February, she went to San Francisco, where she lived in the Estes home and was hospitalized in that city seven times. It had been evident for several months that her illness was fatal and her death was therefore not unanticipated.

Mrs. Bunger was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Brown and was reared in the West Sonora community. She died on the same day and in the same month that her father expired in 1928. Before her marriage in 1907, she taught in the public schools for a year of two, in preparation for which she went through the old Harrison township high school and attended Miami university for one or two summer terms.

Besides the three sons and two daughters, mentioned above, she is survived by a sister, Mrs. Frank C. Barber of Eaton; a brother, Elgar Brown of Arcanum, and seven grandchildren. Mr. Bunger died Dec. 8, 1942.

The eldest son is a veteran navy flyer of almost 25 years. He was with Admiral Richard Byrd on his Antarctic expedition and was piloting the ship when the polar oasis was discovered which bears Bunger's name. Samuel is also a navy flyer and at present is an instructor at the naval base at Pensacola. George Burton is engaged in the produce business at Vista, Calif., and Mrs. Estes is an employe of the Bell Telephone Co. in San Fransisco. Miss Marianna was serving her third term as a medical missionary at the mission station maintained by the United Lutheran church at Monrovia, Liberia, Africa, when she returned last May after it became apparent that her mother's illness was critical, so she could help care for her.

Mrs. Bunger had been active in the various organizations of the local Lutheran church where she taught a Sunday School class for many years. She was also a member of the local chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star.
