At Andover, Allegany County, N.Y., on the 30th June, Albro Bundy, Esq. aged 56 years.  The subject of this notice was a native of Otego [Otsego Co. NY], where he resided until his removal to Allegany County, nearly 30 years ago.  He was an active, positive and conscientiously industrious man in all the relations and pursuits of life in which he bore a part.  For the moral welfare of the society in which he resided, he was an effective and deeply interested laborer.  Always at his post of duty, his cheerful assiduity will be long and pathetically remembered by the recipients of his care and unselfish solicitude.  Though frank and outspoken, he was a wise, thoughtful and discreet counselor and friend, and his manhood was never stained by premeditated wrong.  As a member of a Christian Church, he was of marked usefulness. The cherished legacy he leaves to his truly bereft and afflicted family and friends is the memory of his virtues.
