Guy Leroy Hunner (1869-1957) was an American physician, surgeon, and gynecologist at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Hunner's Ulcer is named after Dr. Hunner. Hunner conducted bacteriological research on the Luray Caves and Limair Sanatorium, discovering that the air coming from the Luray Caves was very pure. Despite the scientific evidence, the idea never gained popularity as cave air was considered polluted and moldy. "But in spite of the bacteriologic purity of the air in Limair Sanitarium, I am sure many will protest against breathing the polluted, moldy emanations from a source never penetrated by the rays of the sun… I must confess this was my first impression, and the same prejudice has been expressed by many friends with whom I have conversed,” wrote Hunner. Arguing the experimental evidence, disinfecting qualities of lime, and pointing to the fact that “we find no organic matter in the caverns undergoing decomposition,” Hunner subsequently confessed himself a convert." Hunner was born in Wisconsin and was marries to Isabella Stevens Hunner. His son-in-law was Dr. John Warner Parsons, also a physician at Johns Hopkins University Medical School.
