HIGHLY RESPECTED SCOTIA WOMAN CALLED BY DEATH
MRS. MARY BUNDY PASSES AWAY IN GRAND ISLAND SUNDAY
The death of Mrs. Bundy has brought sorrow to many hearts, as she was a woman whom to know was to love. Living in Scotia so many years, she endeared herself to all with whom she became acquainted, and her sterling character commanded the respect of all.
Her death, after such a short illness, was unexpected by the majority of her friends, as they could not realize the seriousness of her illness. We believe we can truthfully say that not a person in Scotia had so many friends, who deeply grieve over her loss, and the sympathy of all go out to the sons and their families and the sisters and brothers who are left.
Her going leaves a vacant place that can never be filled, and she will always be held in loving remembrance.

She was taken to the St. Francis Hospital at Grand Island, where on Sunday night, Sept. 5, she departed this life, having attained the age of 68 years, 6 mo., and 25 days.
