Born in Eden, New York, Bunting was educated in the common schools and the Griffith Institute, Springville, New York. He taught school in winters and attended the academy in summer months. Illness having interrupted his preparation for college, he moved to Hamburg, New York, in 1868 and later established a general mercantile store. He engaged in the canning business.
