T. J. BUNN, banker, Bloomington; is a native of Green Co., Ohio, was born Aug. 29, 1832; his parents were Lewis and Margery (Haines) Bunn, who were natives of Ohio; they came to McLean Co. in 1833; during his early life educational advantages were limited; but, by study and observation, he obtained a good business education; his first business experience was that of a printer; this he followed some five years; then, for a number of years, was engaged in mercantile business, after which, he embarked in the real-estate business, in which he operated successfully until 1874, when he established the bank of T. J. Bunn & Co.; the natural bent of Mr. Bunn’s inclinations were toward banking, and in this he has achieved great success; has lived in this city for many years, and witnessed and watched its growth, and helped to bring it to its present prominence. He has filled many positions of honor and trust; from the fact that he has grown up with the city and served in many public offices, and gradually prospered in business, we may conclude that he deserves the high place which is accorded him in this community as a business man and a citizen. He married Miss Mary E. Hutchison, of Christian Co., Ky., May 4, 1854; they have a family of four.
