NATHANIEL H. BUNTLEY, passed away at his home two miles south of Milledgeville at one o'clock Wednesday morning. September 5, 1906 with valvular heart trouble and dropsy. He had been ailing the past three years with heart trouble and the past year he was compelled to give up his work but was able to be around until four weeks before his death.
He was born in Sandusky county, Ohio, May 21, 1846 and spent all of his time at home on the farm until 1865 when he came west to Coleta, Ill., with his folks. He lived there until March 28, 1874 most of the time working on the farm, when he was married to Sarah B. Wetzel. To this union were born six children, Mrs. Porter Heth, Elmer, Clarence, Roy, Estella and Harry. His wife and five children survive him, Elmer having died at the age of two years. He also leaves two sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Sarah Crom of Pierson, Iowa, Mrs. Lydia Crom of Newport, Missouri, S. H. Buntley of Sheldon, Iowa and Frank Buntley of Coleta., Ill.
In the spring of 1875 he bought and moved on the old homestead, living there at the time of his death. He was a faithful and intelligent farmer, never believed in going much and always said his enjoyment was at home. The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at two o'clock on the lawn in front of the home, and were conducted by Rev. C. A. Gage of Rock Falls, assisted by Rev. J. W. McKitrick. The remains were laid to rest in the Bethel cemetery. -- Contributed by Karen Fyock - Undated scrapbook clipping.
