Rev. Albert Teele Dunn, d. D., was
born in Fairfax. VT, May 6, 1850, and
was the son of Rev. Lewis and Lucy
CTeele) Dunn. He fitted for college in
the Northampton Institution of his ma
tive town, going from there to Colgate
University at Hamilton, N. Y, where
he graduated in 1875. He was ordained
pastor of the Baptist church at East
Poultney, VT, July so of the same year,
and married Miss Gertrude A. Cottrell,
the June "a preceding.
But before continuing his active work
as a pastor he went to the Newton
Theological Institution, where he took
the full course, graduating in 1878.
After completing his education for the
ministry he became pastor of the
Stoughton Street Baptist church of
Portland. 1t was while pastor of the
last named church that he was ap-
pointed a corresponding secretary of
the Maine Baptist Missionary Conven-
ton, which position he held at the time
of his death.
In addition to this he was prominent
ly identified with the Interdenomina-
tional Commission, the Maine Sunday
School Association and was president
of the Maine Bible Society. He was
and was a Mason.
DIR. Dunn was twice married, his sec
ond wife being Miss Elizabeth F. Walk
er of Boston. and she with two sons,
Lewis Walker and Fred Ballentyne,
survive him. He came to Waterville
in November, 1889, shortly after his
appointment as secretary of the Mis-
sionary Convention, and had since re-
sided here.
DR.. Dunn was one of the prominent
and strong men of the Baptist denom-
nation in the State and in fact in New
England, although he was perhaps best
known through his missionary work
here in Maine. This brought him in
contact with the churches all over the
State and he was known and loved
from one end to the other. He had
preached in the churches large and
small from Aroostook county to York
and had worked with his whole heart
ana soul everywhere within the bor-
ders of Maine in the interests of his
faith and his church.
During his residence of IA years here
in the city he became known to all and
was loved and respected by all. He
was called a good man" by every one,
even those differing most radically with
him in opinions. Every good work that
needed his assistance got it whenever
it was at all possible for him to give 1t,
whether in the church or out.
He was especially interested in edu-
cation, taking a great interest in
Colby, Coburn, and Good VIII Farm.
