Bundling. Beds and inns were scarce during colonial days, so householders often permitted strangers to sleep with family members. This courtesy was extended to army officers traveling between forts, the old peddler, the minister, the doctor, and the candidate for office. Strangers who bunked together did so fully clothed or "Bundled up," hence the term "bundling" for the custom.

Here is the Lancaster County Courthouse, as seen in the ‘1875 Historical Atlas of Lancaster County.’ The publication was compiled by the famous cartographer Major L. H. Everts of Geneva, Illinois, who, in 1865, joined a partnership with his Civil War comrade, Captain. T. H. Thompson.
