Louis Gunst b. 5 Dec 1807 Bingen, Germany, d. 1849 Texas

Surnames: Gunst
Louis (Ludwig) GUNST emigrated 22 Dec 1845 and in 1847 was listed as a lot owner in Fredericksburg.

According to a letter which was sent to Germany at the time,
Louis killed himself in his hospital room in 1849 after being severely wounded while on an expedition against the Indians.

Are there cemetery listings for Gillespie County that might
include information about the burial of Louis GUNST?

Are there existing copies of the Galveston Herald-Zeitung
from the year 1849?

Thanks in advance for any information or advice.

Best regards from Columbus, Ohio
