The Bunnell Newspaper Clippings SRC NO. N15
NEWSPAPER: The Independent, probably Whitney Point, or Berkshire, NY H. E. Bunnell of Berkshire Writes Last week as Mr. Herman E. Bunnell of Berkshire renewed his subscription to The Independent he wrote a few lines which we quote in part: "I am 80 years young, and do not remember when I was born, but I read in the Bible that it was on October 4, 1863. I have been told that one month after my birth that I weighed one pound less than at my birth. I have been told that I was born in Marathon, in a house on the south side of East Main Street, the second house at the foot of the hill, and the last I knew the house was still there. "In 1865 my father began preaching at Georgetown, and from that time until I was 19 I was a wanderer on the face of the earth. "I began going to school in my native town and I lived in Marathon of that vicinity and in Lapeer until I moved to East Berkshire in 1901. I never lived in one place more than three years. I remember one meadow that I mowed in 1901 is now grown up to brush and there is a nice stand of pine trees which were self sowed from a big pine. Many houses have burned or rotted and are not much good."
