The Buntingville Breeze was one of those short-lived parody publications. When it made its debut in May 1899 the editor went by the non-deplume Spot Cash Sockettuem. The following issue revealed the editor’s identity as Mike Phillips, the town’s only merchant. It never survived long enough for a third issue as Phillips closed his Buntingville store and opened a new one in Standish.
Your picture of Buntingville is appreciated!!

We lived on the “DAY” ranch, in front of the house was the oldest cemetery in the country.
The stone marked the first white man killed by Indians in the valley!
