A prominent businessman of Jackson County, Indiana, who has been actively identified with the milling industry for almost a quarter of a century, is Lewis L. Bundy, who, in association with his younger brother, Otis H. Bundy, owns and operates such important properties as the L. L. Bundy Flour Mill at Vallonia and the Puritan Corn Mill at Medora. In the conduct of these enterprises Mr. Bundy gives evidence of enterprise and progression, qualities apparent also in his promotion of education, good government and social advancement Mr. Bundy was born March 9, 1875, on a farm in Dearborn County, Indiana, and is a son of James L. and Jane D. (Hall) Bundy. His father, who was a native of Pompfret, Connecticut, married Jane D. Hall, of Cincinnati, and after a brief business experience moved to Dearborn County, Indiana, where he passed the remaining years of his life in agricultural operations, becoming one of the substantial and highly respected men of his! community. One of a family of five children, Lewis L. Bundy secured his education in the public schools of Dearborn County and remained on the home farm, associated with his father, until he was twenty-one years of age.

In the meanwhile, April 1, 1909, he founded the L.L. Bundy Milling Company, and in 1916 admitted his brother, Otis H.
