Surviving is one brother of Abington, VA. Services were held Monday in the Ronceverte Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Robert Shires and the Rev. Aubrey Brown officiating. Burial was in Riverview Cemetery. Wallace and Wallace Funeral Home in Ronceverte was in charge of arrangements. NOTE: The above statement of the surviving of a brother, Sidney, of Abington, VA, is incorrect. Survivors were two brothes, Basil and Leon, both of Ronceverte. There was never a brother named Sidney. The Gunter children mentioned above, were adopted children. I believe had been the children of Sylvia's sister and her husband who were killed in an auto crash when the children were small.
