History
Guðmundur er fæddur 20. júlí 1894 á Veðramóti í Göngusköðrum. Faðir: Björn Jónsson, bóndi og hreppstjóri á Veðramóti. Móðir: Þorbjörg Stefánsdóttir, húsfreyja á Veðramóti.
Guðmundur ólst upp hjá foreldrum sínum á Veðramóti, næstyngstur 10 systkina. Móðir hans lést þegar hann var ungur að aldri. Skólagöngu Guðmundar lauk við barnanám. Að því loknu vann hann á búi föður síns og bræðra á Veðramóti til ársins 1918 er hann kvæntist og fluttist Sauðárkróks. Þar bjuggu þau hjónin til vorsins 1922 er þau fluttu að Tungu í Gönguskörðum og reistu þar bú.
Eftir níu ára búsetu í Tungu fluttu þau aftur á Sauðárkrók. Guðmundur átti við heilsubrest að stríða en einnig spilaði kreppan inn í. Á Króknum stundaði Guðmundur þá daglaunavinnu sem gafst. Hann, ásamt nokkrum samborgurum á Króknum, stofnaði hjónaklúbb sem nefndur var „Gömlu dansa klúbburinn“. Einnig starfaði hann allmikið með Leikfélagi Sauðárkróks. Fyrri kona Guðmundar var Þórey Ólafsdóttir (1895-1945) en þau giftust 14. júlí 1918. Saman áttu þau þrjú börn.
Seinni kona hans var Lára Sigurlín Þorsteinsdóttir (1900-1980) en þau giftust á Sauðárkróki 27. nóvember 1954.
Guðmundur lést í Reykjavík 8. apríl 1956 í Reykjavík.
