His parents were reared and married in their native county, and in 1831, they emigrated westward to this State, and after a short stop in Wayne County, they came to Rush County and settled in Ripley Township, where both spent the rest of their lives, their respective deaths occurring in 1873 and 1885.
The subject of this sketch was reared upon a farm in his native township, and received in the district school an ordinary common school education.
At twenty-one years of age he began to learn the trade of a blacksmith, in Carthage, which was finished in due time, and which furnished his chief avocation for a period of twenty-three years. His services in that capacity were chiefly performed in Carthage, though for about four years he was engaged at his trade in Henry County.
Since 1881 he has been connected with a pump factory and repair shop in Carthage, and now possesses a rank among her influential and prosperous citizens.
He was married July 25, 1861, to Miss Mary A. Steuart, who was born in Henry County, Ind., April 7, 1840, being the daughter of John and Martha (Stratton) Steuart, who were natives of North Carolina and Ohio, respective.

Mr. and Mrs. Bundy and family are members of the Friends' Church. In politics, our subject is a Republican. He has been honored with a position on the School Board of Carthage for nearly twelve years, resigning the position on retiring. He has always had the educational interests of his town and township at heart, and it is largely through his influence while a member of the School Board, that Carthage can boast of one of the best graded schools in the State. He has also ever been ready to lend a helping hand to public improvements, and to the advancement of the interests of his town, and many of the most substantial improvements of that place are due to his enterprise. He possesses a good practical education, and evidence of his genius is found in the fact that he has invented and received patents on two devices, one a garden hoe, patented in June, 1878, and a fence loom upon which he received a patent September 6, 1887. He is President of the Natural Gas Company of Carthage, also President of the Ripley Township Temperance organization, and for a long time he has been Superintendent of a large Sabbath School at Carthage.
He possesses a rank among the influential and public spirited men of the county, and he and wife are among its worthy and honored citizens.
