The following are newspaper transcriptions that I had transcribed a few years ago on the Hugunin family. A family I feel were related to my great greatgrandfather, David Byers born 1833 in Butler County, Ohio.
JAMES HUGUNIN, passed away at his home in Upper Albany, yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock p.m., after an illness of about three weeks. He was born Dec. 24, 1839, in butler county, Ohio, and came with his parents, to Albany when he was six years old. At fifteen he engaged in the river business, and followed that occupation for many years. He was a thirty-second degree Mason, belonging to the consistory at Lyons , Ia. , and for several years was master of the Albany lodge, No. 566, A.F. & A.M. He leaves a wife, and two daughters and one son to mourn his loss. - Sterling Evening Gazette 13 January 1906 p. 1; col. 2

ROBERT HUGUNIN - Rivermen are dragging the slough near the Docia in the hope of finding a trace of Robert Hugunin, who disappeared Sunday. They are using chain drags in efforts to locate the missing man. - Sterling Gazette 24 April 1917 p. 6; col. 1
Robert Hugunin Was Not Drowned Was Verdict At Inquest
The disappearance of Robert Hugunin, formerly of Albany , from his home at Comanche on the afternoon of April 15, had just been cleared, when his body was found floating in the Mississippi river on the Iowa side just above LeClaire. A post-mortem examination and inquest was held at LeClaire. The evidence showed that he had been dead some time before the body was placed in the river. The testimony of the physicians who performed the autopsy was that Hugunin's neck had been dislocated, the wind-pipe crushed, and there were scalp wounds. There was no water in the lungs, which showed conclusively that he was dead before the body was thrown into the river. The verdict of the jury was in accordance with the evidence. - Sterling Gazette 26 May 1917 p. 1; col. 2
