Granville Bunch, my great-great-uncle, was the nineteenth* man to be electrocuted in the electric chair at the state prison in Nashville, Tennessee, for the 1921 Anderson County shooting death of his expectant second wife, Barzilla (Daugherty) Bunch. He was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery on April 13.

From the Tennessean (Nashville, Tenn.), April 13, 1922, p. 19:

"BUNCH TO BE BURIED BY PRIVATE SUBSCRIPTION

"The body of Granville Bunch, who was electrocuted at the state penitentiary Tuesday morning for the murder of his wife , will be buried in Spring Hill cemetery, it was announced yesterday, the burial being made possible by subscriptions from several Nashville citizens, who have asked that their names be withheld. The services at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon will be held from the Dorris-Karsch and Company chapel, with the Rev. Faxon Small officiating."
