CHARLES BUNTING DEAD.
Diedof Heart Failure at Ogden Hot
Springs, May 10th 1927.


lows cemetery, Blackfoot, covers the
mortal remains Of the late Charles Bun
ting. He died Of heart failure at the
Hot Springs, Ogden, Utah, Sunday
afternoon, May 10Th, 1897.
The citizens of Blackfoot have lost q
fellow townsman, "a neighbor and friend.
Almost as soon a. Blackfoot was given
a name on the maps Of the state he be-
came one ofits citizens, and his impress
is visible upon every public enterprise
from that time until the day Of his
death. AS q neighbor he was like the
Samaritan whose hand is ever extended
70 those 10 distress and whose means
and money ever ready 10 help those
In want. Hundreds Of emigrants wheth-
er in eastern or western homes to-day
viii keep his memory green for the as
sistance given them in their destitution |
and distress when passing through |
Blackfoot on their long tiresome jour
neys. He was friend indeed TO those |
70 whom he was friend and hey are
Q scsnty few who did not call him friend. |
Blackfoot Is not alone In its mourn
ing for Charles Bunting; all southeast
ern Idaho and all the state of Idaho
mourns his death. Wherever he was
known Mr.. Bunting was recognize d as
. generous, great-hearted and liberal
man and hundreds are still living 70
whom relief was given In an hour Of
need by him so gently and yet 30 aus
pIciously that they count the assistance
among the providences Of their lives.
Being greaE.hearted he was naturally
q xeenIy sensitive man. An arrow of
ingratitude or calumny cut deepinto his
heart and unkind and unjust words
we're 20 him blows on pains great an
VII, telling and crushing In their effects.
Having the tenderest regard for ones
feelings 10 trouble, his own heart bled
when the same regard was not shown
% him by those whom he had favored.
For many months Mr.. Bunting was
an acute sufferer but during his last
weeks his friends we're taking courage
and hoped that ne would recover and
resume his former place In the active,
busy pursuits OF life. But alas how vain
their hopes. His life went out and he is
at rest. His funeral services were con-
lducted from the family residence by
REV. Mr.. Murphy, of Pocatello, In the
presence Of the largest assemblage ever
called together on any similar sad occa-
sion In Blackfoot.
When his wife died, almost three
years ago, he was crushed In heart and
was never the same happy man as be-
fore. Wow they are united in death
I and will sleep In quiet repose until all
. graves in aIl lands shall give up their
/ dead.
