The July1984 Izard County Historian has part 2 of the autobiography of J. Orville Cheney who married Alma Gillihan. On page 30: " On June 27, 1931, during the early part of the depression, I married Alma Marie Gillihan. Alma's father was Ed Gillihan and her mother was Eva Huhn Gillihan. The Gillihans were of English or Irish discant but I have no idea where their ancestors came from. Eva Huhn was of German descent - Mrs. Gillihan's father came from Germany." So according to this article the name is HUHN.
