Merrill Stanton Gaunt, And., of Methuen, a member of the University Medical Unit engaged in Red Cross work in France, died of cerebro spinal meningitis in a hospital at Bar-le-Due early this week, according to a cablegram received by his family. Mr. Gaunt was for two years a student in the Andover Theological Seminary, but last February volunteered with the second University Unit. A cablegram was received on Saturday stating that he was seriously ill, and the announcement of his death came several days later.

Merrill Gaunt was a man of unusual and heroic character, and had given himself to the highest calling in life. He was 24 years old, and although born in Rhode Island, had spent the greater part of his life in Methuen. He prepared for college at Worcester Academy, took his degree at Amherst, and continued his studies in the Andover Theological Seminary and the Divinity School.
