Label Text:
Horace Bundy was born in Hardwick, Vermont, and lived for a time in Lowell, Massachusetts, where he married Louisa Lockwood in 1837. he was an Adventist as well as an itinerant portrait artist (though without formal training), and in his work and travels throughout New England he combined both callings. He became pastor of the Second Advent Church in Lakeport, New Hampshire, in 1863, and by the 1870's he was producing few portraits. A trip in 1883 to Jamaica and a wealthy planter patron he met there renewed his interest in painting, but before returning to his country he died from the typhus he presumably contracted during his visit.
