Mobile Register and Journal, August 8, 1842 p.2 col.6 
  Departed this life on the 30th of July last, of Congestive fever, at his 
residence in Baldwin county, Col. George Tunstall, aged 49 years; he was born 
in the county of Pittsylvania, in the commonwealth of Virginia.
  In early youth, Col. Tunstall removed with his parents from Virginia to the 
city of Nashville in the State of Tennessee, where he was educated, and in the 
year 1817, became proprietor and editor of the Nashville Whig, where he 
continued until the United States took possession of Florida, at which time he 
removed to Pensacola and established a press, where he remained until he 
intermarried  with the  daughter of the late David Tate of Baldwin county, 
after his marriage he withdrew from the editorial department and retired on a 
farm, where he spent the remainder of his days.
  Col. Tunstall always enjoyed fine health, but the monster came and deprived 
the world of this truly good man.
  He never made any profession of religion, but always treated the subject with 
that attention and consideration which its great importance demands.
  In his relations in life, he was kind, affectionate, and humane - his sainted 
spirit has taken its flight to that God who gave it.
