S.N. Bunnell

These bits of genealogy was pieced together from various references in turn of the century issues of the New Jersey Courier.
S.N. Bunnel was the father of Dr. Fred N. Bunnel and Beatrice Bunnel; he lived t the corner of Hooper Avenue and Madison as of April 1905. Fred passed the state Medical Examination early in July 1905; he attended the Baltimore College of Physicians and Surgeons. A news item appeared in the NJC on 7 June 1902, mentioning that S.N. Bunnel was thrown to the ground and hit across the ankles with a 6 x 6 timber while working in A.S. Tilton's barn and was unable to walk. In August of that year he was advertising a house for rent on Park Street, with 'cheap terms.' William Riley Bunnel may or may not have been another son; he married a Susan and fathered:

Fred Graham Bunnel, who married on Dec 25, 1901, Alice Mead Harris, the daughter of S.C. Harris and Sidney Harris. Alice Mead Harris had a brother, Sidney, who married Lizzie Mae Holman. On 17 Oct 1901, Fred Grrham resigned as librarian at the M.E. Sunday School. Apparently he worked in New York, as the NJC for 18 May 1905 stated that he had "been home fro NY several days this past week." It is known that he spent the summer of 1920 in Sea Girt, returning to Toms River on August 27. They lived on the corner of Main and Colfax Streets prior to 1920; after that they lived on Hyers Street.
Harry M. Bunnell, who married Ella Pettit, daughter of James M. Pettit, in April of 1891. They were the parents of Marion Bunnel. Harry died on 16 August 1902, after 'a long illness.' ; his daughter was only 9 at the time. The following October his widow had moved into a new house on Robbins Street. By 1905 she was living on Seward Avenue.
