Rhonda,

Aurilla survived Norman i.e. his obituary:

Ridgway Advocate August 9, 1906

"N. G. Bundy, a well known and highly esteemed citizen of Fox Township died at his home near Toby on Saturday evening last, at about 6:30 o'clock. Mr Bundy had been thrown from his buggy while going down a hill on Wednesday, as noted in another column, and though he lived four days he never regained consciousness. He was aged sixty-nine years, and a carpenter by trade, though he lived on a little farm in the country.

The funeral services were held at the Toby church on Monday afternoon beginning at 2 o'clock, and were largely attended, there being 74 vehicles in the procession. Rev. F. R. Gaupp and Rev. S. Eversole both took part in the funeral ceremonies.

Mr. Bundy was born and raised in Fox Township. His wife was Miss Arrilla Hewitt, also a native of the township and a daughter of the late Jeremiah Hewett. The wife and four children survive. The children are as follows, the sons being all carpenters after their father: James Bundy of New York City, Henry Bundy of St. Louis, and William Bundy of Fox township, and Mrs. L. W. McCauley of Kersey.

Mr. Bundy was a Democrat in politics and had been elected to township offices of trust and responsibility a number of times.

The family have the sympathy of many friends in his sad untimely death."


If I remember correctly, Aurilla Hewitt Bundy's headstone in the Ridge Cemetery does not have a death date inscribed on it. I have some resources that I can check, including a map that I made of the Ridge Cemetery one summer, but I can't get to them right now. (Long story.)

Fox Township was actually part of Clearfield County, PA prior to 1843, when Elk was formed.
