Biography

George was born in 1825 to John Bundy and Lucy Reid and emigrated to Canada in 1846. [1] He married Ann Bunker in 1849 [2] and they had [at least] seven children. George passed away in 1903. [3] George shares a monument with some of his family at the Claremont Baptist Cemetery. [4]

"John Bundy came from England in 1832 with his wife and two children, a boy and a girl. The little girl succumbed to the hardships of the voyage and was buried at sea. Mr. Bundy was a carpenter and lived first in Toronto and afterward in Uxbridge township. He came to Claremont about 1860. Of his family George was a cabinet maker and undertaker in Claremont (in the present library building) till shortly before his death in 1903. John died some years ago at Linwood, Ont. Samuel moved to Toronto many years ago. (His son, Joseph Bundy, is the well-known hardware merchant of Pickering.) Abraham went to Parry Sound a few years ago. Joshua carried on a tinsmithing business in Claremont for many years and for a time in Pickering village. He still lives in Claremont. William also resides in Claremont." [5]

"Among the wood and iron workers of the sixties and seventies may be mentioned Alex. Skene, carpenter; the Gerows, carpenters and pumpmakers ; William Dowswell, wagonmaker ; William Spencer, who is said to have turned out from his shop as many as thirteen finished wagons in a season; George Bundy, joiner, cabinet-maker and undertaker, and J.
