brought joy to the hearts of so many
families, and who made lasting friends
i'll every home he visited.
For many years past DR.. Dunn had
suffered much, and at times it had
seemed that death was not far off; but
through it all he labored devotedly for
those who needed his care; his am
bilious and energetic nature has led
him to constant advance in the science
which he loved; vet, suffering and lab
oring, he ever had smile and kind
ly greeting for the friends he met on
every hand.
Such were the expressions heard
everywhere among those who gathered
last Sunday to take last look at the
mortal remains of the friend they had
lost, and there We're few dry eyes as
those remains We're laid away, and the
last words We're said at the grave.
Great as is the loss of DR.. Dunn to
the city, the state, and the country as
a man of eminence in his profession,
his loss as man is felt to be greater.

was present at the funeral and who
guided in infancy the footsteps Of this
great man, to his bereayed widow and

TRIBUTES OF THE PRESS.
The daily papers of the Twin Cities
gave editorial expression to the sor-
rowful feelings of the people generally
on the occasion of DR.. Dunn's death.
The Minneapolis Times contained the
following in it's issue of last Saturday.
In the death of DR.. James Henry
Dunn Minneapolis sustains a loss not
soon to be forgotten and the medical
profession mourns member who had
done much for it's advancement.
DR.. Dunn was not only practitioner
of the highest skill, but student and
Investigator as WELL His sphere of
usefulness was by no means limited by
the boundaries Of Minneapolis, for his
surgical practice extended throughout
the northwest and his contributions to
the literature Of his profession gave
him merited distinction as a leader in
scientific effort.
That man so very useful should
be taken from us in his prime is one
of those dispensations of Providence
that are not easily understood. His
family, his fellow practitioners and
those to whom he had minstered will
find comfort in the thought that he left
a splendid legacy of example to those
who shall come after him.
The Minneapolis Tribune of Monday
contained the following:
''The swift extinction of a life of
rare public usefulness is general
loss. The removal without warning Of
an eminent figure in the calling of
highest earthly honor is blow to
great body of fellow-workers for hui
mainly. In these more open aspects, a
saddened community and stricken
profession will pay such sincere but in
adequate tribute to the public emin-
ence and professional virtues Of DR.,
Dunn as the forms of general grief and
public mourning can express. But
there is more intimate loss, deep
er grief, which will find subdued voice
in the seclusion of the domestic homes
lie has blessed, in the shielded OBJ
security Of the houses of pain and
mercy to which he has carried hone
and healing.
The privacy of personal grief is sa-
cred. The most tender public sympathy
stands silent on the threshold of strick-
en- homes. But the homes to which the
death of wise and helpful physician
brings private and personal grief are
a community in themselves. The hos
pitals i'll which he was daily benson
add hundreds to the train of mourners
who sorrow as for the loss of protect
