Gen. Gunter suffered in his last III
ness as few men are called upon to
suffer. He bore these long days and
nights Of agony with rare courage,
his fortitude never failed him, he nov
er murmured for one instant.
After weeks and months OF languol
and pain, with calm resignation he
faced the end, going down into the
valley and the shadow even as though
he were being led by the still waters
When the end finally came he fell a.
sleep and those who know, those who
ministered unto him those who never
left his bedside. bell I'VE that In the
silence OF the recedinI world --he felt
upon his wasted brow the breath O.
tho eternal morning
