A History of the Churches & Ministers and of Franklin Association, Franklin County, Mass. by Rev. Theophilus Packard, Jr., Published by S.K. Whipple and Company, 100 Washington Street, Boston, Mass. 1854. p. 271. Rev. Walter Gunn was born in Montague, June 27, 1815, and removed to Carlisle, N.Y., in 1833; in 1837 he joined the Evangelical Lutheran Church; graduated at Union in 1840; studied theology in the Seminary at Gettysburgh, Penn.; was licensed Sept. 6, 1842, by the Lutheran Synod; was appointed a missionary to the heathen in the Lutheran Connexion, May 25, 1843; was married to Miss L. Pultz of New York; was ordained as a missionary at Johnstown, N.Y. Sept. 5, 1843, and the sermon was by Rev. J. Z. Senderling; embarked from Boston in November 1843; arrived at Guntoor, India, June 18, 1844, where he lived and labored for the salvation of the heathen till his last sickness and death. He died with the consumption. Two days before his death, being asked if he had any fears, he replied, "None at all - all is bright and glorious." Respecting his two children, he said to his wife, "Train up the children for Christ." On the day of his death he said, "If this could be my last day, oh ho! w delightful." The native converts watched with the corpse, and sung during the time, "Rock of Ages cleft for me." His Memoir has been published by Rev. G. A. Lintner, D.D., in a little volume of 156 pages, form which the following sentences are taken: "Mr. Gunn devoted himself to the work of foreign missions from a principle of love to his divine Master, and a sincere regard for his glory." "He was eminently a man of prayer." "Our departed brother had an ardent love for souls, and a predominant desire for the salvation of the heathen." The following is from his diary, viz.: "Our desires to labor among the heathen are the same that they were between five and six years ago when we left the shores of our native land. Here, if it please God, we wish to spend the energies of our body and mind, to preach, to pray, to labor, and to die. We have embarked our all in the cause, and we regret not the decision." He died in Guntoor, India, July 5, 1851, aged 36. His widow still survives, a laborer in the foreign field. Though Mr. Gunn became a Lutheran after his removal from Montague, yet as the Evangelical Lutheran Church so nearly agrees in its main features with Orthodox Congregational churches, he is, for conveniences sake, reckoned among the Congregational sons of Montague. An error occurs in his memoir in giving Carlisle, N.Y. as his birthplace, instead of Montague, Mass. Genealogy Records of the Descendants of David Johnson of Leominster, Mass., Compiled by Rev.
