There is a photo of the grave marker at the following site:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/144854717/david-alexander-gunn#view-photo=119390646

From the inscription, it appears that David Alexander is buried with his brother Donald and sister-in-law Isabella.

You're very welcome, pleased to try and help.  Sorry I couldnt find any trace of a death notice/obituary or divorce in the newspapers.
Jessie still remains a mystery.

Jessie Mckenzie Gunn tried to cross the border to the USA 23 Jan 1918 but was debarred. She did indicate she had been in the US in 1917 for a visit. She was going to visit a Mr Foster. Relative husband David, 47th Btn at the front.

Don't see any other sign of her.

I was wondering if you have contacted the cemetery to inquire about the Jessie Gunn burial?

Whew. I love family mysteries

Second letter from the NWPL regarding the graves in Fraser Cemetery.

Hi Chris,

I received a call from the caretaker who went out to look at the stones and confirmed there is no Jessie Gunn buried next to David Alexander Gunn at Fraser Cemetery.

The unfortunate thing about some of the cemeteries in New West from the era is that some are no longer there, and records are sparse about the ones that are gone. I'll keep digging, I'm sure she will turn up somewhere under one of the names or another....

Hi Polarbear,

There was this reference in 2011 that the caretaker had been out and checked there was no Jessie buried next to David. The headstone for David also indicated Donald John and his wife Isabella were buried with David.
