Walter [Gunn]

Walter Gunn is listed in the 1861 Census of Fenelon as a 24 year-old lumber merchant. Born in “Lower Canada” his business had an “annual product value” of $5000.00. He obviously did not last long as he is listed in no other source. Although a common profession in the rapidly expanding lumber market of the 1860s lumber merchants were obviously not a permanent fixture of the township and most soon [have] vanished from the village records.
