George L. Gurney, youngest son of Dr. Aaron Gurney, the editor of the Springfield News, died at Dr. Gurney's home on Adam street, Tuesday. He was 22 years and 8 months old and had been sick for about four weeks, the last two of which he was confined to his bed. He had been employed on the News with his father and was well known about the city as a young man of excellent habits, simple and natural mind and blameless character. The funeral will occur today from the house and the interment will take place at Oak Ridge cemetery. Dr. Gurney and his family have the hearty sympathy not only of the newspaper profession in this city, but a wide circle of friends in their affliction.
