Several weeks ago, in the practice of
his profession, DIR. Dunn incurred a
case OF blood poison in one of his hands,
and this gradually spread until his en-
tire system was involved, and he was
confined to his room for three weeks.
He secured temporary relief; but was
again compelled to remain in his room
about ten days prior to his death. He
gradually became weaker, and notwith-
standing careful nursing and attention,
he and his friends realized the day be-
fore his death, that his end was near.
Saturday morning he quietly passed
away, while his body was supported in
the arms of his loving wife.
His body was taken in charge by the
masonic fraternity, of which he was an
active and consistent member, and on
Sunday afternoon it was taken to the
Presbyterian church, where Rev. j. G.
McElroy delivered a touching and APP
propriate funeral discourse, and; after
other religious exercises, it was borne
to Highland cemetery, and there depos-
tied IN its last earthly resting place by
