I am the granddaughter of Hugh George Gunn - Dec 8/1892 - Dec 17/43
His son, Georgie (George Hugh) -Sept 20/23 - Dec 23/30 - died in a sledding accident when
he was 8.
Both are buried in the older part of the New Denver cemetery. My mother - Catherine Violet,
and my aunt - Dorothy Sylvesta, and my grandmother - Vesta were also part of the family. If you want further information about them I'd be happy to share it.
William Kenneth Gunn (uncle Billlie as we knew him) was my grandfather's younger brother.
He married Lillian Pearl Strickland - We knew her as Auntie Pearl. Born Feb 14/1903, died
May 8/1995. She was born in New Denver, and died in Kelowna. Married in Seattle, WA -
Nov 16/1922.. This is information that was passed on to me by her daughter - Evelyn (Isabell)
(Gunn) Larson. Ev is now in a "home" in Kelowna.
Sorry, that's all the information I can give you about the Stricklands. I have far more information
on the "Gunn" side, as that's the side I'm investigating.
