Dr. f. b. Dunning died at his home
in this village at O'clock last Friday
evening He had been confined to his
house since Nov. Gath, and practically
to his bed since March 18th. Deceased
was born in Webster, Monroe county,
New York, July 18th, 1880; graduated
from the medical department of the
University of New York in 1854, and
at once entered upon the practice of
his profession. In 1868 he entered the
government employ as an assistant sur
geon, being assigned to general hospi-
tai duty at Alexandria, Va, where he
served three years and had the benefit
of practice nowhere else attainable
and which proved valuable to him in
after years. He came to Michigan in
1867 and settled in Paw Paw in 1874.
Thus for twenty years Dr. Dunning has
been with us, his name having become
IA household word in hundreds of homes
where he had endeared himself by kind
ly acts and faithful professional service,
and his death will be in each and all of
these homes a personal bereavement.
The community fully and most keenly
feels the loss it has sustained, and the
heartfelt sympathy of our people goes
out to the stricken widow and sons in
their bereavement The funeral was
from the late home Tuesday afternoon
under the auspices of the Masonic fra
ternity, of which deceased was valued
Rev. +. Warren preaching the
sermon; interment at Prospect Hill.
The Republican of last week devoted
nearly half column of its space to
defense of what it characterizes as
''vicious attacks upon Mr.. o. w. Row
land of this place" by the NORTHERNER,
laying special stress upon general
denial that Mr.. Rowland was in any
way connected with that publication.
1t also asserts that it has ''no desire for
any controversy with the NORTHERNER,
one in which personal char
acter furnishes the text of the discus
sion" but intimates that it is loaded to
the muzzle with personal mud which 1T
is extremely desirous of preteXt for
Now, so far as the ''vicious
of this journal are concerned,
what the Republican chooses to term
such were merely plain statements of
fact patent to everybody, regarding the
professional and public acts of the
party in question-not word or sylla
bic o. which could be tortured into any
thing like a reflection upon his private
life or character, but if our neighbor
across the street sees fit to open cru
SADIE along the lines of its evident
choice, it may learn that an abundance
of corresponding ammunition is stored
up in the magazines of the party of the
second part. On the eth of April last
this journal stated that "the Paw Paw
township board had appointed .. w
Rowland census enumerator, he being
the only applicant for the job, and it
would be very queer looking job in
the shape of public office that he
wouldn't apply for" and added that "if
you want to see o. WIS head bob up
serenely, just mention office, and up
it comes" Is that statement substan
tiated by the public career of the party
to, or is it but "vicious per-
sonal attack? Again, on the 9th of
July, this paper commented in plain
and emphatic terms on the cruel and
dispatches sent by Mr.. Row
land to several different newspapers for
which he is the recognized correspond
ent stating that DR.. Dunning of this
place was dead. Was that a statement
of fact, or ''vicious attack upon Mr.
o. w. Rowland? The writer of the
article in the Republican knows as well
as we do that our assertions were true;
and he ado knows that Mr. Rowland
lacked the manhood to go to the ag
grieved family and apologize for his
brazen and unscrupulous disregard of
their feelings. Now, these two adver-
sions to Mr. Rowland constitute the
sum and substance of the "vicious at
tacks" upon him by this paper lat vari-
gus times during the past three or four
