Surnames: Bunts, Tittle,
I am a great grand-daughter of Harmon martin Bunts. Reuben Wesley was his father. Harmon was born 2 april 1902, Woodman Township, Grand County, Wisconsin. He was married 15 Dec 1925, Dubugque, Iowa, and died 11 Novemeber 1980 at Mount Hope Wisconsin. He is buried at ethlehem Cemetery, Rail Hollow Road, Mount Hope Township, Grant County, Wisconsin. He was marreid to Sarah Gladys Tittle (born 27 Nov 1909, Garnavillo, Iowa, died 1984 in Wisconsin, buried at the same cemetery as her husband (above).

Harmon was the son of Reuben Wesley Bunts. Reuben was born Jan 1834 at Alliance, Trumbull County, Ohio. He was married four times. His third wife died in 1899. By 1902, he had not only remarried but his new wife had borne him two additional children. He was 68 when Harmon was born. His wife was 29 when she married him (obviously many years his junior....but do remember she was a fourth wife). Her name (the 4th wife) was Viola Josephine Setzer (I am not 100% positive on the spelling of her maiden name,Setzer). She died in 1955. She is supposed to be from Magnolia Corners, Rock County, Wisconsin. She is also buried in Bethlehem Cemetery, exact location listed earlier in this message.

REueben's father is Benjamin Wesley Bunts. He died in Ohio, probably Alliance and is supposed to be buried there.His mother is Elizabeth Gee. She died when Reuben was 18 months old of Pneumonia. She is also buried at Bethlehem Cemetery.

Harmon and Sarah had 13 children. As a number of them are still living, I will not list those at this time (specifically, one died at six weeks of age but the other 12 all made it to adulthood. 6 are still living. They were born over a span of time stretching from 1927 to 1951. They were all full sisters and brothers born to Harmon and Sarah (no step parents).
