Notes:

Death of John Bundy. -This community [Linwood] was really startled on Monday evening by the announcement that Mr. John Bundy, one of the oldest residents of the village, was dead. It was known that Mr. Bundy had been in poor health for some months post but he was still going about and his physicians who recently had a consultation expressed the opinion that he might live for some time at least. He was not really sick, nor was he suffering much pain, but it was nevertheless only too evident to his friends that his end was rapidly approaching. On Monday evening after being about the house all day his family and brother Joshua, of Claremont, noticed that he was growing weaker and on being spoken to consented to have the doctor called in. Dr. McEachern was soon in attendance and applied restoratives but in less than an hour he had fallen asleep to wake no more. Mr. Bundy was was [sic] born in the city of Toronto in February 1834 and in the spring of 1858 when still a single man became one of the founders of this village. Mr. A. Boomer, Frances and James Wright and John Schnurr preceded him one year. Mr. Bundy however was present at a meeting which gave the place its name "Linwood" and has resided continuously here ever since. Mr. Bundy was very happily married in February 1861 to Miss Susan Bennett, of Claremont, to whom were born four children, three sons and one daughter, Adelbert, now in Manitoba, John Wesley, of Walkerton, Wm. Otis, at home, and Minnie now Mrs. E. H. Dierlamm, of Milverton. Mr. Bundy was a wagonmaker by trade but has been living retired for many years. He has been a consistent and honored member of the Methodist church for over 40 years, being one of the trustees of the church and parsonage properties here, as well as one of the stewards of the mission. He also took a great interest in Sunday School work, and his inability to attend and enjoy its sessions during last three months was a matter of very great regret to him. In business dealings he was scrupulously honest: this seemed to be an inherent trait of his character was so marked as to leave its indelible stamp on his offspring. The funeral took place on Thursday, Jan. 3rd, at 10.30 o'clock, a.m. the procession first going to the church where a service was conducted by the Rev. H. Monsinger and then to the cemetery here. The pall-bearers who marched by the hearse, were Messrs. John Schnurr, John McKay, Robert Rowe, Robert Hosea, Thos. Hammond and Robert Cathcart. Mr. A. Boomer and Rev. H. Monsinger led the procession on foot. His widow and family have the sincere sympathy of the village and community in their bereavement.
