Gant, One of Knoville’s old Citizens, Lies Prostrate at his old Home with Little Hope of His Recovery. News reached our city the later part of last week announcing that Mr. Duncan D. Gant one of the old citizens of Knoxville, had received a stroke of paralysis from which his recovery is little hoped for. Mr. Gant had been in feeble health for a long time, having partially recovered from a serious spell of sickness, and the present attack found his system in poor condition to meet the last attack. Mr. Gant is an old and highly respected citizen of that section of the country, and his many will regret exceedingly to hear of his suffering. He is a brother of Dr. J.D. Gant, for many years a resident of the same community, but who now resides in Cowgill. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Jenna Zunker USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
