Mr. Bundy was a highly respected citizen of Bainbrdge. Though reserved and of a retiring nature he manifested a great deal of interest in all public matters. He was a kind and good man and had the esteem of a large circle of friends. His wife died about two years ago. He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Charles Chamberlain of Mt. Upton, Mrs. Frank G. Payne and Mrs. A.D. Payne of this village, and one son, Arthur Bundy of Schenectady. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon at his late home, the Rev. A.C.

He was about 23 years old. This is said to be the second similar case with that engineer. [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 3, 1874]
We have been called upon several times of late to follow to the grave some of our most prominent young men who have been laid low by the destroyer Death among whom we have to record Orville G. Havens, who died in Afton [Chenango Co., NY], Nov. 18, aged 29 years. He was an only son of a blind father, who is now left to grope his way in darkness through this affliction. But he has gone to join his mother who was called away fourteen years since. His life has been all that could be asked. As a child, always obedient, honoring his father and mother; as a man of business, always upright and reliable, taking sides with temperance and humanity; as a brother, always tender and obliging to his only sister, who is now left to the cold world without the protecting hand of an elder brother. While as a community we mourn the loss of such young men, we would sympathize with the friends, and have them remember that it is the hand of God and He doeth all things well. P.R.N.

The school children gave the alarm, but all efforts to save him were unavailing. His father resides at Susquehanna Depot. His remains were taken to Oneonta [Otsego Co., NY] for interment.
