JOB GAUNTT

	Was born at Bordentown, Burlingtown county, New Jersey, January 24, 1819, and
he died at his late home January 8, 1902, being 82 years, 11 months, and 14 days
old.  He moved to Ohio in 1845, and in 1849 he was married at Centerville, Ohio,
to Miss Eliza A. Miller.  To them were born nine children, five boys and four
girls; two boys and one girl died in infancy; the children now living are Henry
C. Gauntt and Lida A. Batten both of Galien, Mich., Samuel W. of Townsend,
Montana, Eva S. Baldwin of Chicago, Kate E. Conradt of Madeirville, Ind. and
Adin who occupies the old homestead.
	In March 1853, Mr. Gauntt moved with his family to Weesaw, Berrien county,
Mich., where his wife died March 11, 1880, and where he lived till his own
death. On January 12, 1901 Mr. Gauntt had a fall breaking his hip and from this
accident he never recovered.
	His father, Samuel Gauntt was a minister in the Quaker or Friends church, and
his own son Job was an adherent of the doctrines of that church.  He was honest
and upright in all his business transactions, a kind husband, a loving father,
and a generous neighbor.  He manifested much patience in his last lingering
illness scarely ever complaining of his severe suffering.
	In responce[sic] to an earnest request of long standing, Elder William M. Roe
conducted the funeral services at his late home Jan. 10, 1902.  Amid the bleak
winds of winter his mortal remains were gently laid to rest in th Bakertwon
cemetery to await the resurrection morn.e
