Here is some information from Bruce's History of Virgnia, Vol III, pgs 361-362, written while Neal was alive:

" Neal Bunts attended public and private schools in Wythe County, and afterward became identified with the foundry department of the New River Mineral Company at Ivanhoe, Virginia, where he remained four years. He was then connected with the Mathieson Alkali Works of Saltville for about five years as foundry superintendent, subsequently going to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with the Westinghouse Foundry and Machines Company, where he was assistant foreman for three years. Mr. Bunts then went to the Pacific Coast and joined the Union Iron Works of San Francisco as foreman of the foundry department, but after one year returned to Virginia in 1904 and again was employed by the Mathieson Alkali Works, in charge of the foundry.

    He remained at Saltville for four years and in 1908 located at Pulaski, where with his brother, Robert Bunts, Jr., he organized the Pulaski Foundry and Machine Company, of which his brother was the manager and Neal Bunts, assistant manager and treasurer.  The business was operated under this firm name until 1916, when it was sold to the General Chemical Company of New York, and following this sale Robert Bunts, Jr., with others, organized the Pulaski Foundry Manufacturing Corporation of Pulaski, but he died in 1925, although the company still continues in operation.
    Since the Pulaski Foundry and Machine Company was sold in 1916 Neal Bunts has continued with the General Chemical Company of New York in the capacity of general superintendent, for the duties of which the office he is admirably equipped by nature, training and experience."

He married Lillie Rodefer and they had no children.
