John B. Franklin Guffin's sister Mary Roscoe Guffin married my George R. Hall. I found this information in my search and thought it may be of help to someone. If anyone has any information on my George R. Hall and Mary R. Guffin I would love to hear form you. I do have some information on this family if anyone is interested.
From the Effects of a Sunstroke
Died, from the effects of Sunstroke, received while in the army, John B. Franklin Guffin, at the home of Capt. Geo. R. Hall, of Sharon Township, Johnson County Iowa. He was born January 2nd. 1835, in the state of New York. Moved to this county in 1855, died Sept, 16, 1892. When the war broke out Mr. Guffin felt called to go out in defense of his country, accordingly enlisted in Co. 1 of the 22nd. regiment of Iowa infantry volunteers. Here he served nearly three years, and while his regiment was lying near New Orleans he received sunstroke which finally ended his life. Some thirty-five years ago he professed faith in Christ as his living Savior and we trust he is now at home with Him. His wife, five sons and four dauthters, with many frienda and acquaintances, are left to mourn his departure. Funeral from Heb. 13:14.
