MRS. REBECCA LOWE GUNTON.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, August 10—Justice Ole-
gerich today granted the application
made yesterday to confirm the report
of former Judge Henry W. Bockstaver
In the suit, for divorce brought by
Amelia R. Gunton against Professor
George Gunton, the editor of Ounton’s
Magazine.
Professor Gunton on February 14.
1904, married his second wife, Mrs. Re
becca Lowe Gunton, of Atlanta, Oa.
Justice Glegerich'd .decision merely
says:
, "Motion granted."
His formal order will not be signed
for some day*.
The paper.* are still hidden from In
spection and whether the suit was for
absolute divorce or a separation can
only be determined when Justice Gfe-
gerich signs the Interlocutory decree
which will follow his confirmation of
the referee's report.
Mrs. Rebecca Douglas Lowe and Pro.
fessor George Gunton were married at
the Pledmost Hotel In Atlanta on Fsb-
ruary 14, 1904. The marriage was a
matter of considerable surprise to At
lanta society In which Mrs. Lowe had
been prominent for many years. Im
mediately after the marriage the cou
ple went East, where they have elnce
Hved.
Mrs. Lowe was perhaps more con
spicuous In public Ilfs than any other
woman of the South. For five years
before her marriage to Professor Gun-
Ion' she was president of the National
Federation of Women’s Clubs. At one
lime she led the opposition In the fed
eration to the admission of negro wom
en aa delegates, winning her fight In
brilliant fashion after a xtruggla that
held the attention of the entire coun
try. Aa a parliamentarian she bad but
few equals, even etqong statesmen, In
America.
At this time she was the widow of
W. D. Lowe, who was one of Atlanta’s
wealthiest - m»n. She has two children.
Mrs. James W. English, Jr., and W. D.
Lowe, both of Atlanta.
She and Professor Ounton are living
at their country home near Hot
Springs, Vs.
