Death Of Edwin 3. Gunner.

The death of the above named gentleman
occurred at his residence at Baraboo, on Friday
evening, February 2sth. His funeral took
place on Sunday the lst inst. We understand
that for the past three or four years he had been
gradually failing in health, and his death was
not unexpected.
Mr.. Quiner was fer long time resident of
this city He came to this place from Wauke-
sha, in the year 1850. He was for some time
editor of the State Register, democratic news
perance. He subsequently started the Home
Circle, literary paper. He was a vigorous
and ready writer, and displayed considerable
na management and tact in his business but hay-
ing taken issue with his party on some ques-
ton, he was obliged to relinquish the pubica-
ton of the Register. The Home Circle also
failed principally Tor want Of patronage. He
also edited the Chronicle for few weeks in
1857, which was then expiring. After his
connection with the press had ceased, he open :
ed o Land Agency Office in this city. In 1858
he removed to Madison, and has been resi-
dent of that city until within the past year.
Perhaps we cannot do better :han to publish
the following notice Of his death which appears
in the Madison Journal, written by one who
knew him well, Mr.. Lyman G. Draper, State
Librarian
"Mr. Quiner was we believe, a native Of
New Haven, Conn, where he was born in
nd tlV in Il
year at the time of his death. He learned the
printing trade at New Haven, and while yet
quite young migrated to Cincinnati, and by
saving his earnings, he was enabled to spend
considerable time at Granville College, Ohio
commencing in 1884. Subsequently marrying
he settled first at Richmond, Ind. and then at
