MR. S. B. BUNDY PASSED AWAY LATE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
Had Been a Healthy Man Up Until About Ten Days Ago when He was Taken Sick in Wadesboro Hotel.
Following an acute illness of ten days, Mr. S. B. Bundy died Monday afternoon at 5:45 at his home on Lancaster avenue. Death came as a result of Bright's disease. News of his serious illness, and later his death, came as a shock to hundreds of his friends and associates in the two Carolinas, as Mr. Bundy had always enjoyed good health.
The funeral services were conducted this afternoon at 3 o'clock by his pastor, Rev. J. H. Abernethy. Despite threatening weather, hundreds of friends, including prominent hardware men of both States, showed their admiration for the deceased by attending his funeral. The office force of the Charlotte branch of the International Harvester Co., with whom Mr. Bundy was connected, came down in a body. Numbers of beautiful floral offerings were given. The Monroe Royal Arcanum Lodge, of which Mr. bundy had been a loyal member ever since he attained his majority, sent a wreath, and the International Harvester Company also sent a costly offering.
Mr. Bundy was suddenly taken ill at the Wadesboro hotel Thursday, Feb. 7, with shortness of breath and high blood pressure. He hurried home, and best of medical attention was given him, but he sunk lower and lower as time passed. Physicians realized several days ago that death was only a matter of hours. He was conscious up until a few minutes before death came, and realized that the end was drawing near.
The deceased was born in Marlboro county, South Carolina, January 21, 1862, being 56 years old when death came. He was married October 31, 1883, to Miss Betty Stewart, daughter of the late John D. Stewart. To this union ten children were born, nine of whom survive, three girls and six boys. They are Mr. Dunham Bundy, Mr. Sidi Bundy, Mr. Charley Bundy and Masters Robert and Francis Bundy, and Mr. Julian C. Bundy of Charlotte; Misses Nellie, Sadie and Elizabeth Bundy, who lived with their parents. The deceased had been a resident of Monroe for the past 41 years. For seventeen years past he had been traveling over the Carolinas for the International Harvester Co. Besides his children and his wife, he is survived by two brothers, Rev. J. D. Bundy of Fayetteville, and Mr. J. S. Bundy of Hamlet, and one sister, Mrs. Harvey Kehoe of Newbern.
For many years the deceased had been a member of the Central Methodist church, and rarely missed a service. He was a man of strong character, and a Christian gentleman. During his residence in Monroe he made and retained a host of warm friend who appreciated him and his deportment. Honest, conscientious, faithful to every duty, he leaves behind him many admirers of his character, who remember him as one whose death leaves many sad hearts in our community. As a husband, father and citizen, he was faithful to every trust.
The following were the active pall bearers: Dr. J.M. Belk, Dr. W.B. Houston, Messrs. J.W. Hamilton, J.A. Stewart, J.H. Lee, and J.C. Smith. Honorary pall bearers included: Messrs. W.H. Belk, W.C. Heath, W.S. Lee, W.T. Stewart, and W.S. Blakeney.
