Gwynne was born in Medicine Lodge, July 21, 1912. He lived with his parents
     Mr. and Mrs. Ed Adams, until his marriage. On September 8, 1940, Gwynne married
     Beulah Baier.
          Beulah was born to Mr. and Mrs. George Baier on February 24, 1921, in the
     Opera Building where her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Mabe Warrington, had a store.
     Her parents farmed southwest of Medicine Lodge in the Union Chapel community. She
     attended grade school at Elwood school and high school in Medicine Lodge, where 
     she met Gwynne.
          Three sons were born into this Christian home: Edwin Gwynne Jr. born September
     19, 1941 in Alva, Oklahoma; James Paul, born January 7, 1946, in Achenbach Memorial
     Hospital, Hardtner; and John Nicholas, born February 17, 1949, in Achenbach Memorial
     Hospital, Hardtner.
          Gwynne attended school at Medicine Lodge and was very active in football. He
     worked for Glen Fishburn's dairy. He also hauled bricks to build the streets of
     Medicine Lodge. Gwynne worked 7 years at the Gyp Mill, and December 1943, moved
     to a farm southwest of Medicine Lodge, helping his father-in-law for one year.
     In January, 1945, Gwynne, his wife, and son, Eddie, moved to the Ray Ives farm.
     James was born there. They moved to the Paul Adams farm, and Gwynne worked at the
     Deal lumberyard. On July 21, 1947, Gwynne and Beulah were on their way to Pratt
     to shop when they had a bad car wreck. They spent 6 weeks in the hospital. Neither
     was able to work for six months. In February, 1949, they moved to the Grandpa
     Blunk place and worked for John Blunk for almost 2 years. In October, 1967, they
     went to work for Truman and Leona Cookson. In September, 1969, they bought a home
     in Hardtner, where they have since made their home. Gwynne worked for three years
     for his brother-in-law, Sam Baier; Beulah did housework, and worked at Achenbach
     Center. On January 1, 1974, Gwynne, semi-retired, started driving the school bus,
     retiring on May 24, 1978. Beulah drove a school bus for 2 1/2 yers and is now
     also retired.
