Under resolution offered by DR.. Dun
lap, Rev. james G.. Blair was elected
principal in the teachers department
of the institution" Mr.. Blair was min
lister in the M. E. Church, and as soon
as he could procure permission from
conference, took charge of the seminary.
From one hundred and forty to one hun
dred and sixty students, male and fe-
male, attended this school at each ses.
sion.
1t was, during its short existence, the
pride of the town, and to DR.. Dunlap and
men like him belongs the honor. The
The union school system making its ap.
pearance early in the fifties, the semin-
ary building was by the trustees given
up to that system.
In the meantime a new and important
enterprise had been taken up. The line
of the Cincinnati & Marietta Railroad
was to be located and constructed. The
rivalry between Hillsboro and Green
field grew intense. 1t was in this great
contest that the strength of our leading
citizens like DR.. Dunlap, Judge Dickey,
Hugh Smart, John Boyd, the Wilson's,
the Douglasses and others was severely
tested: They poured out of their purses
literally. They were men who knew
how to apply the rod of energy to obsta-
cles, and by untiring efforts overcome
them. DR.. Dunlap was always in the
fiercest OF the fight, and although he
with others came out financially Grip
pied, they were victorious, and to such
men we are indebted for our present
great railroads.
The history of Greenfield from 1880 to
1880 is the history of fifty years of DR..
Dunlap's life. He was intimately iden-
titled with every public enterprise, and
was most closely allied to the great mass
of the people by reason of his position
as physician.
"Wants frsilties, passions closer still ally
The common interest or endear the tie."
In 1879 his son, DR.. R. s. Dunlap, hav.
| ing completed his course in medicine,
entered the Office with his father. and in
that year DR.. Dunlap was elected Presi.
dent of the alumni of the Ohio Medical
College.
On the 9Th of July, 1883, he suffered a
stroke of paralysis, and from that day
he gradually declined until October IL,
1890, when his spirit took its fight and
he was gathered to his fathers in peace.
To us who bore the casket from the
church of which he was so long mem
ber and an elder, amidst the great con-
course of his sorrowing friends, it was
indeed singular reflection that he was
the first to behold us upon our advent
into this world, and now we were the
last to look upon his face and were to
lower his body into the grave.
In religion DIR. Dunlap was Presby.
terian, and in politics he was Henry
Clay Wing, and later Republican.
The home of DR.. and Mrs. Dunlap was
Christian home. None but Christian
influences ever proceeded from it. OF
their family of thirteen children, all save
one grew to manhood and womanhood,
and with their mother survive their
father. It is, after all, around the holy
hearth of the home we see the result OF
mans best influences.
Like all of us, he had his faults, and
some would say that infexibility oi
opinion was one of them but if there is
such thing as intuitive morality, Mil.
ton Dunlap was possessed of it in as
large q degree as it is allotted to NOR.
tails.
He was strong in his friendships, and
never more delighted than when he
could confer favor upon friend. he
was equally strong in his disikes
He was not man
.sTo bow and sue for grace
With suppliant kilee."
He was never affected, ostentatious OF
pedantic. but was easy, familiar and
naturally graceful in his manner. He
was self-reliant and had to great de-
gree the valuable ability of successfully
applying the best means at hand in an
emergency.
DR.. Dunlap possessed an unusual
knowledge OF human nature, which te
him was valuable in his large practice
and which he used with great skill.
He was man of great self-respect and
was justly proud of the eminence he had
attained and the vast circle of friends
that surrounded him. This was no fault
