Clifford L. Brundage, 59, cashier of the First National Bank of Westerville for 21 years, died at his home 89 West College Ave., at 9:20 o'clock Tuesday morning following a long illness. Death was caused by cancer of the stomach.
Mr. Brundage first came to Westerville about twenty-five years ago as the manager of the Logan Natural Gas and Fuel Co. After holding this position for several years he was transferred to North Amherst where he was manager of another branch of the same company. Returning to Westerville a year later he was made cashier of the First National Bank, the position which he held at the time of his death.
Besides being one of the most prominent men in the Methodist church Mr. Brundage was also a member of the Chamber of Commerce and other civic organizations. He was a large stockholder in the Everal Tile Co.
Mr. Brundage was actively interested in lodge work being a past master of Blendon Lodge of Masons; a member of Horeb Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; past illustrious master, Zabud Council; Royal and Select Maters, Mt. Vernon Commandery; Knights Templar, Scioto Consistory; Aladdin Temple of Shriners, and Mizpah Chapter of Eastern Star. He was also a member of Knights of Pythias and was the Republican Township Chairman.
Mr. Brundage was always interested in young people. For a number of years he taught a Sunday School class. Due to a lack of space in the church the class met for several years in rooms of the First National Bank.
The widow, Mrs. C. L. Brundage, and one daughter, Mrs. Thomas Hawley Nelson and a grandson, Thomas Clifford Nelson of New York City, are the surviving members of the family. In accordance with the wishes of Mr. Brundage before his death, a private funeral will be held at the residence this Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Services will be conducted by Mr. Austin M. Courtney, of Delaware, a former pastor of the local Methodist Church and Rev. Geo. H. Heister. Westerville Masons will escort the body from the residence to the cemetery. Interment will be made in the Mausoleum at Otterbein Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are in charge of Earl F. Keyes.
The body laid in state last evening at the home from 7 to 9 o'clock. A long line of friends passed the casket to pay respect to the man who is now only a memory.
