Vera Dean FISK is very sick right now. I have talked to her once in a yr.

She hurt her back and is very sick now and cannot email right now. I tried
to call her today and I suppose she is still very sick. Cannot lay down,
sit and email and cannot walk.

I can see how you are related. Hustin was the name he went by. He we think
was born in Jackson Co., AL on 23-jun-1841 and d. 31-May-1913. Mary E. was
b. 1845 in NC. and d. 1886 and was buried in Wartburg Cem., Morgan Co., TN.
Children:
1. Hilda Ann GUNTER b. 25-nov-1864 and m. James W. BUXTON 28-jul-1886.
Hulda d. 4-apr-1956.
2. Fanny C. GUNTER was b. 1867 and m. John Henry VALE/VAILES 4-june-1882.
Don't know when Fanny died.
3. Dora F. GUNTER was b. 1870 in Morgan Co., TN. and m. W.E.
Ketcherside/Ketcherson on 30 -may- 1886. No other info on her.
4. Charles Marion GUNTER b. 7-jan-1871 amd d. 18-sept-1892. He married
Margaret Ann HOLLOWAY 18-sept-1892 in Morgan Co., TN.
5. Melinda 'Lindy' Alice GUNTER b. 1873. No other info.
6. Margaret GUNTER b. 1875 and no other info.
7. William Harvey GUNTER b. 15-mar-1876 and no other info on him at this
time.

Hustin was married again after Mary E. died. He married Dorthula 'Dar'
DODSON. She was b. june-1851.
They had 3 children.
Melinda
Ella May b. May-1887 and she m. John Freels -RR Signal Corps.
D. Elmer GUNTER b. May 1889.

I think Ella May GUNTER may be your line or what you are looking for. She
and her husband are buried in Clear Creek or somewhere close to Sunbright.
I will look that up and send later. I have a Cemetery Book Morgan Co., TN.

We are related as 'kissing cousins' to Steven Mathes only. Margaret Ann
HOLLOWAY who m. Charles M. GUNTER, her parents were Preston O. and Martha
Langley. Steven's ancestors m. into the Langley family.

I have plenty on Charlie who also worked on the RR. Nothing at this time on
Harvey. I can look that up. I have Census Records.

Let me know.
