General Notes: Husband - Squire Franklin Bunce

---

He was best known as Squire Bunce, having served many years as justice of the peace of the Second ward of Franklin, and had a wide acquaintance in the city and surrounding country. Being on the ground during the early days of the oil excitement, he was drawn into the business and was one of the pioneer producers, continuing in this line for a considerable period. Later he was elected justice of the peace, and he attended to his official duties with the same conscientiousness and ability which marked his other activities.
