         HORACE BUNCE, farmer, P.O. Marysville, is a native of Windsor
      County, Vt., and was born June 18, 1820.  He is a son of JOSEPH and
      SOPHIA EARL BUNCE.  When five years of age, he came with his parents
      to this State.  They came by stage to Albany, and from there by canal
      to Buffalo, and from there to Detroit on the old steamboat Pioneer,
      and came on a sail vessel to St. Clair, and then took row boat to
      Port Huron, and arrived here in 1825.  They settled on the river,
      near by the home of Judge BUNCE, and he engaged in lumbering with his
      brother, Judge BUNCE.  At that time, Gen. CASS was Territorial Gover-
      nor of the State, and was a frequent visitor at the BUNCE homestead.
      JOSEPH BUNCE was appointed by him Territorial Judge.  After being
      here five years, owing to continued sickness in his family, Judge
      JOSEPH BUNCE removed with his family to Jefferson County, N.Y., and
      HORACE grew up to manhood; then, in 1840, he returned to St. Clair
      County and located in the town of Clyde, and engaged in lumbering and
      farming, and also had a grist-mill, and since then, over forty years,
      has been engaged in lumbering and farming.  The farm where he lives
      is finely located on St. Clair River, and is valuable property, and
      he also owns other lands.  Mr. BUNCE was elected to the State Legis-
      lature, and was a member of the regular session of 1860-61, and also
      of the two called sessions.  In 1858, he married Miss MARTHA J. WEST-
      BROOK, a native of the town of Clyde, in this county.  They have four
      children - SOPHIA J., HENRIETTA A., HARRIET C., HORACE C.
