The news of the death of ex-Recorder Geo. K. BRUNDIGE, this morning at seven o’clock at his home near Akron, brings the realization that Fulton county has lost another one of its noblest and best citizens.
About fifteen days ago Mr. Brundige contracted a severe cold that resulted in an acute attack of stomach trouble from which he never recovered. The death will be a shock to all of Fulton county as Mr. Brundige was regarded as one of the best men the county has ever called a citizen. As keeper of the records during his four years of official duties he proved most competent and his coming in personal contact with so many while in the office, won for him hosts of loyal friends. As a private citizen he enjoyed the same true friendship accorded to all men of his stamp.
(((((PICURE of Ex-Recorder Geo. K. Brundige)))))
Geo K. Brundige was born near Roann, Wabash county, fifty years ago, and lived at the place of his birth for twenty-five years. Then he located in Akron and engaged in the hardware business, but later made a change to a notary and collecting agent. He was nominated for Recorder by the republicans in 1894 and was elected. After four years of exemplary service he took up the life of a private citizen and in 1901 moved to the Jacob WHITTENBERGER farm, on the west outskirts of Akron where he had since resided.
He was married in 1886 to Miss Indiana WHITTENBERGER who with a whole county, remain to mourn their double loss.
The funeral of Geo. K. Brundige will occur at the home Friday at 1 p.m. Arrangements are being perfected whereby the 2:30 fast train will stop at Akron for the friends from Rochester who may wish to attend.

Here is a second obituary for George Brundige which I have a very old copy of, taken from the Akron News. He was the husband of Ina Whittenberger, sister of my great-grandmother, Ella Whittenberger Noyer.

GEO. K. BRUNDIGE IS NO MORE.
His Spirit Passed from a Tenement of Aching Clay to the Realms of the Spirit World.
Although the death of George K. Brundige had been anticipated since the first days of his late illness, by his many friends, yet when the hour of dissolution came the announcement cast a gloom of saddness [sic] over the entire community. His last illness dates from the week before Christmas when he took down with a heavy cold, followed immediately by a multitude of complications that defied medical skill, careful nursing and all else that kind and loving hands could do. He grew steadily worse from the start until the break of day Wednesday morning when as the great orb in the heavens dispels the night and brings forth a new light, so did the soul of George K. Brundige shake off the painful tabernacle of clay and break forth into the bright realms of a new life.
George K. was born to Uriah and Elizabeth Brundige, near Roann, in Wabash county, August 17, 1859. He was one of four sons and four daughters in that family, one son, John and three sisters of this large family yet survive him. He came to Akron in February 1886, and entered the emloy of his life long friends, the Patterson Bros., then engaged in the hardware business. On August 26, of the same year he was happily united in marriage with Ina May, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Whittenberger's youngest daughter. To this union one child, Harry was born. Although the hand of af[... illegible]... young father, yet this bright little son came into his life as an uplift. For about seven years the light of Harry's life shone and hid from sight the adversities of the young couple. But a decree came and the angel of death claimed little Harry. It was a crushing blow to the young parents and we dare say the father never fully recovered from this sorrow.
In the fall of 1894, Mr. Brundige was elected county recorder. He often referred to the event to the writer as a gift from the good people of the county that came to him at a time when he sorely needed assistance in a financial way. His physical infirmities were such that Mrs. Brundige was almost his constant companion, and when he assumed the duties of his county office she went with him. Both were admirally adapted to perform the incumbent duties of that place. It was here in this office that he found a place to serve the people and return to them in a tangible way his appreciation for their franchise and entrusting him with care of the county records. It was in this place, where in four short years they both experienced a bright spot in life, even though the burden of sorrow was then resting upon them. It was here that he made a large acquaintance over the county and his friendship extended to its boundless relams. At the end of the four years service, they returned to Akron, where they were sorely needed. Both her parents, were aged and in declining health. Here, again, he filled the place of a dutiful son, equal to its trying requirements, and served his friends and their families. Though an object of care and solicitude himself, yet we find him as we study his life, in every station, trying to care for and administer to the orphan and those who were in need of help. He practiced his religion by precept and example, open hearted, free handed and frank in his every act, deed and thought. His own pains from which he was a constant sufferer were never so great that he complained, nor for a moment forgot the needs of others. Though he never made a public confession in a religious way, yet from a heart so full of love for others, so ready to help in need, must be fed from a fountain, a source that is higher than the natural man.
Fate seemed to hold a heavy hand over him and in December 1906, he sustained an injury to his hip that rendered him almost helpless. In this added extremity, and [sic] addition to the services of his dutiful wife and companion, came Don Noyer, his nephew. George didn't give up his usual pursuits but transacted business like rugged stout men and Donald carried him in the buggy and from place to place about town like a child, while the master mind in the aching bodiment of clay, met men on the level, dealing and transacting bsuiness in this way for two solid years, while Donald waited and watched to do his bidding, loyal as a shepherd to his master.
We will all miss his familiar figure and his cheery voice, but not more so, than those who ministered to his wants were next to his inner soul and loved him for his goodness. About two years ago he was made a Master Mason, and the tenets of that order met a responsive chord in his soul, and which he cherished to the very last moments of his conscious life. The funeral obsequies will occur today from the late residence conducted by Rev. Luce and under the auspicies [sic] of the Akron Masonic fraternity, and the mortal remains laid to rest in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
At the time of his death George Brundige was aged 49 years, 4 months and 19 days.
