Mrs. Gus Bunz

Published in the Pilot –January 12, 1927

This community was shocked and grieved to learn of the death of Mrs. Gus Bunz, which occurred at her home in Bennington last Friday morning, following a complication of ailments.

Mrs. Bunz, a daughter of Tim Ohrt, of this place was born on the Ohrt farm west of Ft. Calhoun, 48 years ago, and resided with her parents on the farm and in Ft. Calhoun until her marriage in 1912. She was held in the highest esteem by all and her untimely departure is keenly felt by a large circle of friends.

She is survived by her father, two brothers, George and Claus, and two sisters, Mrs. H. A. Kruse, and Mrs. Gus Timm, the later of Bennington.

Many friends from here attended the funeral services, which were held in Bennington Sunday, one of the largest congregations ever attending a funeral at that place being present. –Ft. Calhoun Chronicle
