Durham Magistrate Drops Dead
Durham, Nov 20--Special.  "Judge" D.C. Gunter, aged 69 and many years the well
known trial justice of the county, dropped dead this morning at 9:30 in his
office on Main street.
He has been slowly declining several months, but was not kept entirely from
work. He insisted upon returning to his office and was again advised not to do
so. His physician several days ago told him that continuance of this exertion
would kill him. This morning he walked up the steps, crossed the door and fell
dead on the floor.
He was a Confederate soldier, many years a farmer and a magistrate of the county
and city and took a prominent part in local politics.
Mr. Gunter, was early married and leaves a family of wife and six children, five
girls and one boy. He had many other relatives in the county and his passing
removes one of the city's landmarks.
