The Lowell Ledger, February 9, 1922


Stephen A. Gunn was born in Lorain county, Ohio, May 13, 1844 and died at his 
home in Lowell, Mich., February 4, 1922, age 77 years, 8 months and 21 days.  

On August 31, 1862 he enlisted in Co. B of the 16th Michigan Infantry, and his 
time having expired he was discharged December 23, 1863, at Rappahannock, Va.  
On the very next day, December 24, 1863, he re-enlisted in the same regiment 
and company and was again discharged July 8, 1865, at New Jefferson, Ind., the 
war having closed.

December 31, 1863 he was married to Arvilla June Scool, and to this union two 
children were born, a son and daughter.  The daughter died at four and one 
half years of age, but the son, Charles G. Gunn, now resides in Lowell.  The 
wife and mother died April 10, 1909, and the following December Mr. Gunn was 
again married to Eva Childs, who survives him.

Mr. Gunn was one of our good citizens and has lived in and around Lowell for 
about 12 years.  He leaves to mourn his departure, besides his wife and son, 
an uncle, aunt, several cousins and a host of friends.  He was ready and 
anxious to go and meet his loved ones that had gone on before.  

The funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal church and the 
remains laid to rest beside his wife in the Clarksville cemetery, Rev. H. H. 
Harris, officiating clergyman.
