Obituary found in Danville Republican, Morgan County, Indiana, February 6, 1908.
On Friday evening about 4 o'clock occurred the death of Aunt Temperance Blunk, one of the pioneers of southern Hendricks. She was born in North Carolina in 1818, and when 6 years old came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs George Hadley to Indiana and located near Mooresville, where she lived until her marriage to David Blunk. They began life together at the present homestead, where they spent their entire life, with the exception of a few years in Missouri and Kansas. She was the mother of ten children, five of whom survive, 25 grandchildren, 44 great grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Grandma Blunk was a few days over 90 years old. A little more than a year ago her husband died at the age of 94, severing a union of 68 years. She had a birthright in the Quaker church and was strong in that belief. Her funeral was Monday at Stilesville, conducted by Rev. Bray, of West Newton, interment being at that place.
