The direct cause of his death was some form of heart trouble from which he had suffered more or less for some time. Mr. Gum, third son of Mr. R. Lee Gum & the late Ruby W. Gum was born at Mill Gap, April 27, 1887, and with his parents moved to Monterey in early life. For a number of years he was the efficient C&O railway agent at Covington, Va., after which he spent several years in Glendale, Cal., with his sister, Mrs. Robert Humphreys. Two years ago, he returned to Monterey, since which time he has spent assisting his father in his cattle interests and brother-in-law in the mercantile business. “Kent” as he was more familiarly referred to by his close friends possessed in high degree a calm, friendly and genial disposition with. a desire to be fair to all. His radiant smiles won for him a large number of devoted friendships evidencing a sympathetic heart and a willingness to render aid to others. His desire had been to enter the service during the World War, but owing to heart affection was unable to do so. As recalled by many, his brother Arthur “Dutch” lost his life in France during the conflict. Funeral service was held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, at the home of his parents, Mr. & Mrs. R. Lee Gum, conducted by Rev A.E. Johnson assisted by Dr. W.C. White of Churchville. Miss Betty Hansel was in charge of the music, with voices from the Presbyterian and Methodist choirs. Burial took place in Monterey Cemetery.
