General Notes: Husband - Alexander A. Gunn

---

He attended school in the old-fashioned log schoolhouse of those days, a few weeks in winter time, the remainder of the year being occupied in assisting his father in the general duties of the farm. After his marriage he rented an unimproved part of his father-in-law's farm in West Finley township, Washington County, on which he erected a cabin, and then proceeded to clear the land of the timber and underbrush, and make for himself and bride a comfortable though primitive home. When the Civil war broke out Mr. Gunn enlisted in Company K, Sixteenth P. V. C., serving until March, 1863, his term of enlistment having expired, and he was discharged from the service with the rank of second lieutenant. During his absence with his regiment his house and barn were destroyed by fire, and on his return he moved to Buffalo township, where he resided six years, engaged in agriculture; he then came to a farm in West Finley township which comprised 250 acres of fine land, all in a good state of cultivation.
