- In Memory of B.K. Bumgarner.
Bro. B.K. Bumgarner was born in Millsborough, Washington county, Penn., Dec. 9th 1835; Died Oct. 29, 1908. His father died when he was about two and one half years old and he was reared from that date by an uncle until he was about ten years old. After this he spent two years with a brother-in-law. Most all of these years were spent in Ohio. He then returned to Pennsylvania, where he labored until about the age of eighteen when he moved to Putnam county, Ill. In 1867 he moved from Illinois to Linn county, Mo., and settled on a farm in Grantsville township. There he resided until February 1894 when he moved to Purdin where with two of his sons he entered the mercantile business and continued a member of the firm until death.
During his residence in Illinois he was married Nov. 18, 1856, to Miss Mary A. Grave. Eleven children were born to this happy union. Four - Elias, Elmer, Dora and Frank have died. Seven are still living, viz: Uriah, George, Joshua, Mrs. Lavina Hutchinson, Mrs. Lizzie Purdin, Mrs. Minnie Pulliam and Mrs. Rebecca Cassity. All were present at his death, together with his faithful companion, and listened to his fatherly counsel which he so lovingly gave when he realized the time of his departure was at hand. He also leaves eleven grand-children and two great-grand children.
Bro. Bumbarner obeyed the gospel at the age of forty under the preaching of Bro. Alpheus Brown. Since that time he has been a very faithful member of the church of Christ and has served the church at Purdin in the capacity of an elder for about ten years.
Truly his delight was in the law of the Lord and in it did he meditate day and night. By his Godly life his influence for good was cast over the lives of others, and he rejoiced in seeing all his children obey the gospel.
A host of friends join his relatives in mourning over the loss sustained. In his death the town loses an honorable citizen, the church a faithful member and the family a devoted husband and father.
Funeral services were conducted by J.C. Bunn at the Church of Christ Saturday, Oct. 31, at 1 p.m., after which the mortal remains were conveyed to the Grantsville cemetery and laid away to await the resurrection of the just. An appreciation of his life was manifested by the large concourse of people present and the beautiful floral offerings contributed. X.X.
