General Notes: Husband - Albert Benjamin Gunnison

---

He received his education in the log schoolhouse of his native township, and when 17 years of age shipped as cabin boy on a large passenger steamer on Lake Erie; he was soon promoted to wheelman, and was so employed for about four years. He then came back home and took the contract to build a section of the Erie and Wattsburg plank road, after completing which he followed farming for two years on the homestead farm. He then purchased a mill property in Mill Creek township, comprised of sawmill and woolen mill, and a year later sold the sawmill and rebuilt the woolen mill into a pump factory, where he resided and conducted business till 1872. He then moved to Erie, continuing the pump works for several years, finally building a plant at 233 East Twenty-second street, and moving the machinery to Erie, where he continued the business for several years, and later added a complete set of planing mill machinery, and was about to branch out in building and contract work at the time of his death.
During his residence in Mill Creek township he was long entrusted with the township's most important official duties. After coming to Erie he served as a member of the Select Council. He was trustee of the Erie academy for a number of years, and was county commissioner for six years.
His family were members of the Universalist Church, of which Mr. Gunnison was a trustee and liberal supporter.
