Gus was the son of Henry and Catherine (Aultum) Gunning. He was born on March 8, 1866 in Cassville in Howard County, Indiana. His name is listed as Jacob A. Gunning in the 1870 Howard County census. He was four years old and he was living with his younger brother, widowed father and widowed maternal grandmother, Nancy Aultum (misspelled Alubum by the census taker). His father was killed in an accident when he was six years old, leaving he and his younger brother orphans.
At the age of 21 years, he married Ada Hosier in Howard County. As Augustus E. Gunning, age 32, he purchased lots in Kokomo from Ardella Hosier in 1898.
He was a resident of the county for his entire life except for a short period of time were he moved to Tennessee. He can be found in the Lawrence County, Tennessee area with his two sons, Harvey and Lea and daughter Gracy in 1900.
Gus used the name Gustia E. Gunning for most of his life. The progression of his name appears to have begun as Jacob Augustus, then Augustus E., and finally Gustia E. Gunning. His death record does not list what his middle name was. His obituary stated that he was a well-known farmer of Howard County, Indiana, living one mile east of Cassville, when he died suddenly at the age of 53. He was survived by his widow and two sons. For more than a year, he had been suffering from a stroke of paralysis and an attack of stomach trouble brought about his death. Funeral services were held at his home followed by burial in Crown Point Cemetery. There is no grave marker at the cemetery.
