Samuel Stunkard, aged 81 years, one of the oldest and best known residents of Lawrence county, died Friday evening, June 1 at 6:45 at the home of his son, Scott Stunkard of Eastbrook, from the effects of a stroke from which he suffered 10 days ago.
Mr. Stunkard was born in Eastbrook, April 2, 1842, a son of William and Mary McCaslin Stunkard, pioneer residents of that community. He was for some years a carpenter and contractor of this city, moving 39 years ago to Eastbrook where the balance of his life was engaged in farming. He was recognized as one of the leading farmers of that section of the county.
Mr. Stunkard was a veteran of the Civil War serving with the famous "Roundhead" regiment with Co. F. He saw active service in may battles of the war and was wounded in the face during the conflict at the Second battle of Bull Run. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church at Eastbrook. Fifty three years ago he was united in marriage to Margaret McCaslin who preceded him in death, January 5, 1918.
Surviving him are three sons, Scott Stunkard of Eastbrook with whom he made his home, Rev. Charles Stunkard of Hickory, Pa., and J.A. Stunkard of Eastbrook, one sister, Mrs. John H. Miller of Pine street, this city and two brothers, Robert and M.F. Stunkard of Eastbrook and 21 grandchildren. Funeral services will be conducted Monday, June 4 at two p.m. from the residence.
