The 1910 census indicates Emma was born in Iowa and they had 7 children, 5 living. ----------------------- The Citizen-Republican (Scotland, Bon Homme Co., SD) Oct. 24, 1918, pg 5 "Mr. Hugh G. Gunn, one of the earliest settlers in this part of Bon Homme county, died at his home in this city about nine o'clock Tuesday evening. Mr. Gunn has been in poor health for several years suffering with rheumatism which affected his heart. In an effort to find relief he tried the climate of Texas, but the relief was only temporary and after staying there about a year he returned. Several months ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis which left him partially helpless. Tuesday evening, while sitting in a chair talking with other members of the family, he suddenly expired from heart failure. Mr. Gunn was born in the province of Ontario, Can., and came with his parents to Dakota Territory in the early 70's, the Gunns being the first settlers in northern Bon Homme county. They located about two miles east of the present city of Scotland. Mr. Gunn took a homestead on which he lived for many years but about twelve years ago he rented the farm and moved into town. He married Miss Schneider, who with five children survives him; George, who lives in Wyoming, Frank, who lives on the old home farm, Mrs. Margaret Beecher, who is staying with her parents while her husband is in the army, Miss Marie and Alex who reside at home. Mr. Gunn served one term as county commissioner and was re-elected for a second term but resigned when he went to Texas, and was recognized as a competent and faithful public official. He was a good business man and a good citizen, and through all the trials of pioneer life he remained steadfast and succeeded in amassing a comfortable fortune. He was always ready to do his share in helping to build up and develop the country and in his death the community loses a prominent and respected citizen. Arrangements for the funeral have not been made, as the family has not yet been able to hear from George.
