[JOHN M. GWIN NOTE--2 Apr 2021: At one time, before I knew this (24.14) Richard's middle name was Warren, I assumed that he was a "junior" and even named my page for him "RichardWGwinJr", as one can see above. Now we know that his middle name is Warren, not Walton, and I am removing the suffix "Sr." after his father's name on this memorial.]

Neodesha Register: January 1885
R. W. Gwin, father of Mrs. E. T. Wells, was buried in Neodesha cemetery last Friday. He was a resident of Sycamore Valley and was aged 82 years. He had been a pioneer in the settlement of four territories, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and Kansas and was the father of 15 children, 14 of whom were still living; his wife whom he had lived with 63 years, is still living but was too much prostrated by the death of her companion to be able to attend the burial. The old pioneers are passing away and will soon live only in the memories of their children. Buried Neodesha Cemetery, Montgomery Co., Kansas.
