"Edward Bunker was a man of small stature, very energetic, and industrious, always patient and cheerful. He was a man who read a good deal, was well posted in Scripture, good sound substantial reasoner." Elida C. Haycock "Edward Bunker had a childlike faith which knew no doubting. His prayers were earnest conversations. When he made requests he also made covenants which were faithfully kept, and thus the blessings followed. "His knowledge, judgement, and native ability..were pronounced. His associates..asked his opinion and quoted him as authority." "He loved nature as God made it, mountains, deserts, forests, fields, rivers, hidden springs. There was a lure in him for the great unknown. He never thought of pleasure and recreation as they pertained to physical or carnal desires. He thought of duty and service. He could always hear the voice of duty calling him to the outpost, to the last frontier." John G. McQuarrie |
