Son of Comfort and Sally (Wheeler) Gunn. Believed to be the husband of Luneria Strickland Gunn and father of Clarence V. Gunn

The grave stone next to that of Vernon D. Gunn is probably that of his brother Burrell G. Gunn who died Alexandria, Virginia in the Civil War on 24 August 1864. He was first buried in the National Cemetery in Philadelphia and later moved to his family plot in Michigan.

Burrell was born about 1825. He was married to Clarissa Sage and had three children: Correll, Harriet, and Joe (who died in childhood). (Information provided by find a grave contributor James Gunn)

His headstone is next to Comfort and Sally Gunn and another Gunn headstone, can't make out first name.

Gravesite Details

The lower photo headstone is unreadable but can make out the last name of Gunn and death date which I think reads July 18, 1864 but am not for sure.
