    George W. Gaunt, farmer, P. O., Miami. Is a native of Clark county, Virginia, born in 1810. Was raised on a farm and educated in the common schools. He was married, in the parish of Carroll, Louisiana, in the year 1842, to Miss Caroline Phillips, of Kentucky, who left him a bereaved husband, but a few short months after their marriage. Previous to his marriage, Mr. Gaunt had filled the office of sheriff, of a parish in Louisiana, for a period of four years, besides serving in other official capacities, in all of which he made a good record. After the death of his wife, he returned to his native state and county, where he was again married, in 1853, to Miss Alice E. Rogers, a native of same county. They have six children: Lovell C., Emma J., Ida, Alice, Carrie and Charlie. In 1848, Mr. Gaunt moved to this state and county, where he has since resided. He is an intelligent, successful farmer, thoroughly conversant with the latest and most approved methods of farm cultivation.
