In 1899, GEORGE married a third time, to Caroline Cocks (or also called Caroline Peterson. Her obituary said that she was married twice previously, herself. GEORGE was in his 90's and Caroline was 48. At this time, GEORGE was the landlord of half a city block in the Martin's addition tract, and had moved into the town as a retired farmer.
In January 1905, Caroline Bunting purchased property by mortgage note, for the sum of $400. Jonathan Jones was the person who loaned the money:
From: "Iowa County Mortgage Books," Vol. 36, page 176:
"Know all men, that Caroline Bunting of the City of Dodgeville, Iowa County, WI, party of the 1st part, in consideration of the sum of $400 in hand paid by Jonathan Jones of the same place, party of the 2nd part, do sell to the party of the 2nd part… the following described real estate… in the county of Iowa… described as:
"Lots No. 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 86, 87 and 88, all in Martin's Addition to the village (now city) of Dodgeville."
"Provided always, and these presents are upon express condition that if the said party of the 1st part… shall cause to be paid to the party of the 2nd part… the just and full sum of $400 according to the conditions of one promissory note bearing even date herewith, executed by the said Caroline Bunting and F. P. Hocking, of the 1st part to the party of the 2nd part… on or before the 1st day of May next after such taxes shall have become due and payable, and shall insure and keep insured, the buildings thereon against loss or damage by fire in the sum of $400 or over… and secured by these presents until the payment of said note, then these presents shall be null and void…"
"In witness whereof, the said party of the 1st part has hereunto set her hand and seal this 30th day of January, 1905. Caroline [her mark] Bunting. Witnessed by F. T. Hocking, Jennie Hocking."
In December 1906, both GEORGE and Caroline BUNTING signed another mortgage with 3 of the same lots as collateral:
"This indenture made this 4th of day of December, in the year of our Lord, 1906 between Caroline Bunting and GEORGE BUNTING, her husband, of the County of Iowa… of the 1st part, and John M. Reese of the County of Iowa… of the 2nd part… for and in consideration of the sum of $100 in hand paid by the party of the 2nd part… do convey unto the party of the 2nd part the following described real estate:
"Lots no. 86, 87 and 88, all in Martin's Addition to the village (now City) of Dodgeville..."
"…Provided always, and these presents are upon express condition that if the said party of the 1st part… shall cause to be paid to the party of the 2nd part… the just and full sum of $100 according to the conditions of a certain note, executed by the said Caroline Bunting and GEORGE BUNTING, her husband, to the said John M. Reese as collateral security, then these presents and said note shall cease and be null and void." Signed by Caroline and GEORGE BUNTING, by their marks.
Along the side margin of the mortgage book, are the following words:
"I, John M. Reese, the mortgagee named in this mortgage, do hereby release the same from record forever, and acknowledge satisfaction and payment in full. Witness my hand and seal this 4th day of June 1908. John M. Reese."
In 1902, being blind, he deeded his properties over to Caroline with the following phrase:
"The express conditions of this is such that if the said Caroline Bunting shall during the remaining years of the said GEORGE BUNTING, take such care as a loving and prudent wife should, then this deed is to remain in full force and effect. But should the said Caroline Bunting refuse or neglect the taking care of the said GEORGE BUNTING in such a manner as becomes a loving and prudent wife, then this deed to become null and void and of no effect."
In 1905, Caroline Bunting and the Justice of the Peace, F. P. Hocking [who had performed their wedding ceremony, and who had been GEORGE's ally in the Primitive Methodist Church takeover attempt] sold off the entire holding of a half a city block. In 1907, we find that Caroline Bunting and GEORGE were residents of the poorhouse, the Iowa County Home, and later Caroline died of cancer of the stomach. What had happened to his accumulated savings from the sale of his real estate? Had she sold the lots to pay for her medical care? Her obituary has nothing but praise for her, calling her "a kind and loving wife, a good neighbor and a true Christian."
GEORGE outlived his much younger wife another 11 years.
From: "Dodgeville Chronicle," Aug. 1899 issue:
"Death of Christian Peterson. Died at the house of Mr. and Mrs. George Bunting in the city of Dodgeville, Aug. 11, 1899, Christian Peterson, aged 29 years, 9 months and 8 days. Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Peterson and was born in the county of Vestere Toten, Norway, and came to this country with his parents when but a child less than 2 years old. His parents settled first at Otter Creek, in the town of Highland, in this county, and had resided there until the death of the mother, many years ago. Several years after the death of the mother, his father [Martin Peterson] married the present wife [Caroline Cox Peterson] of George Bunting of this city, and shortly after his marriage, he [Martin Peterson] met with an accident which caused his death about a year ago."
"Deceased was, in his younger days, an unusually strong and healthy man, but having become afflicted with grip about 7 years ago, and afterward, catching additional cold, he became afflicted with consumption, and for the past year had been confined to a greater portion of the time to his bed, and had been kindly cared for by his stepmother [now Caroline Cox Peterson Bunting], who, a few weeks ago was married to Mr. George Bunting, and when she came to her new home in this city, kindly brought her suffering step-son with her and tenderly cared for him during the remainder of his life."
"The funeral took place last Sunday from the home of his step-mother, and the services were conducted by Rev. Wm. Atkinson, pastor of the M. E. Church and Rev. LeRoy Taylor, pastor of the P. M. Church, and the interment was made in the Dodgeville cemetery."
From: "Dodgeville Chronicle," August 30, 1907:
"Obituary. Caroline Bunting. Caroline (Cox) Bunting was born in the town of Linden, in Jan. 1851, and departed this life August 24, 1907, in this city, at the age of 56 years and 7 months. She was united in marriage to George Bunting, of Dodgeville, June 27, 1899, and has since resided here. Mrs. Bunting is survived by her aged husband, one daughter, who lives in Denver, one brother in Mineral Point, and two sisters, Mrs. Alice Perkins, of this city, and Mrs. Clark, of Highland. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the Primitive Methodist church, conducted by Rev. John W. Horton."
