(Charley) Gauntt, and a lifelong resident of Henderson county was buried Sunday afternoon at the Athens cemetery. Rev. M.L. Fuller was in charge. Her death occurred Saturday morning at 7:10 o'clock at the home, 611 North Pinkerton, following a long illness. She had been an invalid for the past two years. Her husband, for many years a merchant of Athens, died on October 17, 1934. The deceased, the former Miss Lula Splawn, was a native of Henderson county, having been born at Old New York on March 2, 1869. She was the daughter of H.S.
