Wife of Pvt. Amos D. Gunn.
Snohomish Co. Tribune
7-15-1898
After more than two years of patient suffering, Mrs. Persis E. Gunn passed away at her home at Index, Monday, July 11. Mrs. Gunn was 53 years of age, and came to this state about seven years ago from ILL. Since then the home at Index has become a favorite resort for the many friends from Snohomish and vicinity.
It is now more than two years since the first premonition of her fatal malady began to be felt. Relief was sought at the hands of specialists in Chicago and Seattle, and she returned to her home to pass the remainder of her days with her family. These last few months were full of suffering, scarcely a moment of them all being free from pain, but she bore it without a murmur or complaint. During the last few weeks she seemed to be improving, and rallied so much as to be able to leave her bed to which she had been confined for a year, and on Fourth of July she ate dinner with her family. The improvement proved to be soly temporary, for on Wednesday last she grew much worse and sank rapidly until Monday afternoon when she passed away.
On Tuesday, as the evening shadows were lenghtening, she was laid to rest in a peaceful spot, only a few rods from the room in which she had lain so long, and in the midst of the beautiful surroundings which had been so dear to her. She leaves a husband, five daughters and one son to mourn her loss.
Among the many examples of noble womanhood which have adorned our frontier life, none was held in higher esteem then Mrs. Gunn. Her gentle and refined manners, her generous and refined temperament made her not only a fond parent in her own household, but won for her everywhere the beautiful name "Mother," and made her house not only a stopping place for the wayfarer, but in reality a home.
