Rev. John Gunn

at Gettysburg. He was ordained in 1843 and was appointed missionary to India. He was married to Lorena Pultz in 1843 before sailing for India. In November 1843 he embarked with Mrs. Gunn in a ship at Boston for India.

Rev. and Mrs. Gunn arrived in Guntur on June 18, 1844 and

immediately joined the mission started by Father Heyer. He remained a faithful and indefatigable co-laborer for seven years till his death. The entire Lutheran mission work in Guntur fell on his shoulders when Father Heyer returned to the United States.

Though Mrs. Gunn was in charge of schools, the mission task was not easy as the field is filled with so many obstacles, so much prejudice against Christianity, and opposition to the truth.

In 1849 they lost their youngest child in Guntur. However, they were encouraged by their faith in the promises of the gospel. His zeal for the Lord was so much that it was noted on one occasion in the Guntur bazaar, he became so indignant at some idolatrous performances of the heathen, that he lifted up his voice in great earnest against the idolaters who became exasperated at him and consequently proceeded to pelt him with stones.

He loved the cause, labored patiently and cheerfully with unremitting diligence. After 7 years of extensive service, his health declined. Reverend Walter Gunn died from

Tuberculosis and was buried in Guntur Cemetery.
