The Ionia Standard, Friday, June 10, 1904

I. B. Gunn died on Wednesday night May 25th, at his farm home in Easton 
township, after a long illness of more than eight months.  Only three days 
before his death he and his family thought he was improving, and had strong 
hopes of his recovery.  He was 83 years of age.  

Mr. Gunn was born in Geneva, New York, August 31, 1821, and lived there until 
a young man.  He came to Michigan and settled in Grand Rapids in 1846, where 
he resided the most of the time until 1868, when he moved to Easton, Ionia 
County, where he spent the remainder of his life.  In 1842 he married Oliver 
D. Ellis of Aurillius, Cayuga county, New York, who survives him.  Mr. Gunn 
was a fine example of industry, determination and integrity, and one of the 
most systematic and prosperous farmers in Easton township.

He was a charter member of Keene Grange, and a member of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church for many years.  Mr. Gunn leaves a widow and three children: 
Mrs. Laura A. Garrett of Fort Collins, Colorado, Mrs. C. M. Linington of 
Chicago; and Albert E. Gunn of Shelby, Mich.  He also leaves two brothers and 
one sister: W. S. Gunn of Grand Rapids: Schuyler Gunn and Mrs. Emeline White 
of Chicago. 

The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. M. Johnson of Saranac, at the 
home, on Saturday, May 28th at two o’clock.  The large number of friends in 
attendance and the beautiful floral pieces showed the respect and appreciation 
which his life had inspired.  The bearers were Messrs. Hiram Brown, Thomas 
Thomas, Samuel Pike, Wilbur Curtis, Harvey Russ and George Renwick.  Interment 
was in Easton cemetery.

The relatives present were: Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Gunn of Shelby, Mich., Mr. 
and Mrs. C. M. Linington, Chas. M. Linington, Jr., and Schuyler Gunn, of 
Chicago; W. S. Gunn and Will A. Gunn of Grand Rapids, Mich., Elmer Ellis and 
Adolphus Ellis of Ionia, Mich.; Mrs. Percival Leadley and Mrs. Frank Land of 
Toronto, Canada.

Card of Thanks: 

I wish to extend my sincere thanks to my friends and neighbors for the many 
words and acts of kindness and sympathy during the sickness, death and funeral 
of my dear husband.

Mrs. I. B. Gunn
