His father died in Hillsboro, Hill Co, TX on Feb. 14, 1900. His obituary, which was published in the Hillsboro newspaper, helps provide a little more information about his family.
"F. H. Gunn died at his home here last Wednesday evening. His remains were interred at the Peoria cemetery. Mr. Gunn came to Hill county over twenty years ago and settled in the Arnett community, where he resided until quite recently.
His wife and several children survive him. The children are all married and live in different sections of the state. He was a member of the Baptist church and few men stood better in the community than he did. He was universally spoken of as 'a good straight man and a good neighbor.'"
