Lawrence (John) Philip Bunney [Philias Laurent Bonin], 70, passed away on Monday, April 1, 1946 in Mount Vernon General Hospital, Mount Vernon, Washington.
Mr. Bunney was born on March 22, 1876 in Contrecoeur, Quebec, Canada. He was the son of Philippe Jean and Genevieve (Guillet) Bonin dit Bunney. Lawrence was the eldest child of nine children.
At three year of age, Lawrence moved to Glen Falls, New York along with his parents in 1879. The family would later relocate to Fargo, North Dakota sometime in the 1880s and there he would attend grade school.
Lawrence was quite an industrious young man: a man who was full of ambition and ready to make his mark on life. He, in his youth, took an apprenticeship and became a skilled carpenter. Then, while still in his young manhood, he went on and earned enough money to purchase a freight wagon and a team of Clydesdale Horses. These purchases enabled him to started a small business for himself by hauling grain and lumber. Sometime in the early 1900s he applied for a track of land to start a homestead from the Federal Government. Lawrence went on to use his skills from his apprenticeship to build large grain elevators and homes. He also worked later as a finish carpenter and eventually worked in a sash and door business in Minot up until 1933 during the Great Depression. After Lawrence moved to Washington, he worked for a time with finish carpentry before starting a diary business in Skagit Co. and he continued with that occupation up until his death.
Mr. Bunney married Myrtle May Goodwater on March 9, 1901 in Bagely, Dodge County, Minnesota. To this union seven children were born: Lawrence (Elmer), Clarence, Blanche, Leon, David, Hazel and Daniel Bunney.
In Dec of 1938, after the death of his daughter Hazel he decide to relocate his family to Everett, Washington because of the harsh economic conditions in North Dakota during the Great Depression and to make a new life for themselves in the Pacific Northwest.
