Death is at all times an unwelcome visitor, but when it comes to one who has scarcely reached the mid day of life, it seems to be doubly hard to bear and comes with an increased feeling of sorrow and sadness. Such is occasioned by the death of U.S. Deputy Marshal Thomas W Gunning which took place this morning at his late residence on the corner of Baltimore Street extended and Decatur street. When his robust and strong physique is remember it is hard to realize that one who was never sick for a day, could have been taken away in such a short space of time. He was taken ill about ten days ago and soon it was apparent that he was suffering from typhus pneumonia and the last seven days his life had been despaired of and at four o'clock this morning the end came with calmness and peacefulness. The deceased was well and favorably known throughout the county, having been born and raised within its confines. He was the second son of James Gunning and was born at Eckhart on the 2nd day of January 1848 and resided there until sometime in 1877. He was for many years employed on the Eckhart branch railroad first as a brakeman and afterward as a conductor on the passenger car, a position which was held for over a quarter of a century by his father, James Gunning of Eckhart. After resigning from that post, he made his home in this city and was until the Spring of 1878, a constable when he resigned that post and was employed by the Baltimore and Ohio as a special watchman at its crossing difficulty with the George's Creek road, after which he purchased the grocery store of Charles Summers on the Baltimore Pike at the head of Decatur Street where he carried on a lucrative business for several years and until he erected the present substantial building on the corner of Decatur Street where he has since been a successful merchant. He was one of the committee clerks of the 1886 session of the Maryland Legislature and in April last was appointed United States Deputy Marshal for Allegany and Garrett counties. He had always been a staunch and true Democrat. In 1874, he married Miss Mary, the youngest daughter of Mr George Dowden, who with four children, the youngest but four months old, survive him. A singular coincidence is that the deceased passed away at the same hour he was born, namely, 4 o’clock in the morning. The deceased was a true and untiring friend and was always ready and willing to assist the needy. He was an honest and good citizen and always alive to the interests of his town. He had made many friends who will miss him greatly and whose deepest sympathy will be extended to the bereaved friends and relatives. The interment will be at St. Patrick’s cemetery, the hour of Hie funeral services to be announced hereafter. Died of Typhoid Fever
