GUNTER, Jennie – {from the Fayetteville Daily} Mrs. Jennie Gunter, wife of Col. T.M. Gunter, passed peacefully away at 8:45 p.m. Monday at their home in this city. Mrs.
Gunter had been an invalid for several years and during the past year has been confined to her bed. Although she has known for many months that she was suffering with an incurable malady she retained her wonted cheerfulness until she was oblivious to the things of earth. Her beautiful Christian character which adorned all her life, never shown so brightly as in her final illness. Her present discomfort seemed to be forgotten in the thought of the happiness that awaited her beyond. She spoke joyously of the approaching end and looked forward with brightest anticipation to the day of her emancipation. She was at peace with her God and at peace with all the world. Her good works will never be known, for she was as reticent about her charities as she was untiring in her labors of love. Her ministrations to the sick or needy were not restricted by race or station. She would watch through the long hours of the night by the bedside of a sick negro as willingly as she would attend her dearest friend. She was zealous to her religious duties and a faithful and earnest worker in the church. But notwithstanding her manifold charities, her own house was a model of order, comfort and cheer. A more devoted wife and mother never blessed a household. It is no marvel that she should have gone forth joyously to her reward. Mrs. Gunter, who was Miss Jane Catherine Bragg, was born
Nov. 23, 1832 , in Charleston , Jefferson county, Virginia, and came to Arkansas when she was eleven years old to live with her sister, Mrs. S.V. North, of this city. She was married June 8, 1860 , to Col. Thomas M. Gunter. Four children blessed this union. Jennie and Cora, who have gone before, and W.G. Gunter, of Salt Lake City , Mrs. M.R. Forbes of Evanston , Ill. Judge Julius
Gunter, of Denver , Colo. , as beloved as her own son, was the child of a former marriage. Her devoted husband and bereaved children have the profound sympathy of many friends, who will weep with them over the bier of one of the best women whose life has blessed his or any community.
