The Hinton Record
September 26, 1918

Green Gunter was born in Patrick county, Va., July 15, 
1847, died at his residence near Lookeba, Sunday, Sept. 15, 
1918, age 71 years and 2 months. At the age of 18 he 
enlisted in the Union army and served 18 months, receiving 
an honorable discharge at Camp Nelson, Ky. He went to North 
Carolina and was united in marriage with Mary Roberson in 
Stokes county.

To this union were born 16 children, three of whom 
preceeded him to the better land. In 1900 he came to 
Oklahoma and filed on a claim, his family joining him 
later. He was in poor health for a number of years. When 
the end came he slept(sic) away so quietly that those who 
watched over him during his last illness hardly knew he had 
gone.

He united with the Primative Baptist church in 1898 at 
Surry county, N.C. He was faithful to his vows and 
obligations. His funeral was preached at the Presbyterian 
church in Bridgeport by Revs. Graham and Neil, after which 
the body was taken to the cemetery where the old soldiers 
conducted the ceremony at his graveside, which was very 
appropriate.

His body was laid to rest tenderly and with the hope of 
meeting him face to face in the resurrection. The beloved 
wife and mother with the 13 children and a host of friends 
and relatives mourn his loss.
