Fourth of July Familiar Earl Bunting Ties to Henry
Earl Bunting, a familiar Henry figure during the Fourth of July, has long centered carnival activity here. He helped run shows at the American Legion celebration since 1936, owned and managed travels at Marshall-Putnam fairs, and now works with the Jim Neal Shows in Henry. Bunting, who began in the Tilley Shows after World War I, sold his interests in 1947 for health reasons and later explored an amusements park near LaGrange, from which he is exiting his stake. He is married to the former Mrs. C. E. Pearson of Ramsey, Illinois, who has also run Henry concessions.
