The remains of William Bunton, who died at his late home in Los Angeles, California, at 3:40 a.m. June 1, 1910 was brought here last Monday and laid at rest in the Wildmead Cemetery besides his wife who preceded him some five years ago. Rev. Archer preached the funeral services, which were attended by the friends and family who knew the deceased when he resided here many years ago. William Bunton was borne near Belfort, Ireland, in 1824 and was 76 years of age at the time of his death. He came to America at the age of 21 years and settled in Philadelphia where he was married. He afterwards moved to Illinois, but later came to Kansas and the greater part of his time was spent in Nickerson, and Great Bend. One son James Bunton, of Newton and Mrs. A. E. Lewis of this city, are the only near surviving relatives, and they were both present at the funeral.
