Gunter [son of Ephraim Gunter & Louisa Ann Kemp]: "My father, Ephraim Gunter, was born Aug. 20, 1834, in Murray Tp., Ontario; & on April 1, 1856, he married Louisa Ann Kemp, daughter of Joseph Kemp. It was in the year 1856 that my father & several other families sold their possessions in Murray, Ontario, & moved 65 miles north to North Hastings County, to the New Settlement, listed on the map as the Gunter Settlement. He took possession of 400 acres, & the deed & location cost him $20--thus cheaply did the Canadian Government sell land to settlers, to induce them to locate. When father was 43 yrs. old, he was taken sick with gall stones, of which disease he finally died, Nov. 23, 1891. There were three girls & five boys in his family: Joseph, James, Adeline, Mary, Harvy, Matilda, Samuel, Maurice".
