I lived there as a small child while they finished building our new home in Highland. After she sold the hotel, she bought some property that is located across the street from North Newton.She had a ranch style home there and it is still there.<br /> Can you tell me anything about her or the hotel? I was young when she died, but I have fond memories of her.<br />Thank you<br />Margaret SuttonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998936422915177299.post-58358003055520997352010-06-12T04:21:37.530-05:002010-06-12T04:21:37.530-05:00Bunkum doesn't exist anymore under that name, ...Bunkum doesn't exist anymore under that name, nor either of its sub-names (Concord and Montgomery).
