According to Hana Shaf-Brener, Moshe Shimon Pun, was a melamed who also ran a small store. He was born in Salantai to Yosef and Pesya in 1871. His wife’s name was Miriam (nee Chatskels), daughter of Mendl.
Kehilat Shkud provides some information about the Pun family; the name is given as “Pin,” but it appears to be the same family. Bar-Sheva Pin was a teacher in the “Yavne” folk-school and/or the Hebrew pre-Gymnasium (29, 56). Moshe Shimon Pun was a member of the Gemara Society:

According to Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Tax and Voters Lists Database, Sora Mera Pun, daughter of Mendel, worked in a grocery store in 1914; could this be Miriam? As of November 2013, Moshe Shimon does not appear in Jewish Gen’s databases; but Yad Vashem provides the following:

Shimon was murdered/perished in Shkud, Lithuania at the age of 70. This information is based on a Page of Testimony submitted by his nephew (http://db.yadvashem.org/names/nameDetails.html?itemId=1747408&language=en).
