u. as its financial agent for several
years, and did much effective work
for the institution, besides winning
for himself the love and esteem Of
all people who came in contact with
him. AS field worker he brought
many young men to the University,
and did it other valuable service in
the Southern States. He was a man
of recognized ability, both as an ex-

were enlisted. When he severed his
connection with the University it

where he has resided since leaving
here. Two weeks ago he resigned
the pastorate of the church at Gala
tin to accept a call from the First
Presbyterian church at Brunswick,
Ga. The church at Gallatin, with
misgivings, accepted the rendered
resignation and paid glowing trib-
ute to his faithful work as its pastor.
1t was the intention of the deceased
to have entered upon his duties at
Brunswick October /, and it is sup
posed here that he left Lebanon early
this morning on trip to Nashville
on business connected with his de-
parture for Georgia.
DIR. Bunting's family consists of
his wife and six children, five sons
and one daughter. The daughter is
married and resides in Kansas. Har-
ry, Frank and viii are in business
at Florence, Ala, while George is at
tending the University here, and a
younger brother is with his mother
at Gallatin.
The family has wide circle of
friends here who deeply sympathize
