Tuck MINTER, GUY, Dr. - Died at his home in Pine Forest Sunday morning, presumably from a overdose of morphine taken Saturday morning. Dr. Minter had been despondent for some time, and made his will about two weeks ago. Saturday morning he drove over to the old home place. He talked to some renters a little, said something about going down in the pasture to look at some stock. Later someone noticed his buggy still there. He was found in the pasture in an unconscious condition. A scrap of paper was found near him which indicated that he had started to write a note to his people, but only a few words were intelligible. He was taken home and only gained partial consciousness for a few moments at one time and then lapsed back into the sleep which merged into death. Funeral and burial occurred at Pine Forest, conducted by Eld. Foster. He was 42 years old. He was a son of the lamented Capt. Abb Minter, and was born and reared at Pine Forest. He qualified as a physician in early life and had been actively engaged in the practice of medicine at Pine Forest for the past 15 or 18 years. He leaves a wife and three children. (S.S.
