The new Dunn Memorial church
which is in the course Of construction
on the slightly lot at Deering Centre
| Is to be fine monument to the gen
| tleman for whom 1t is named. This
fact Is evident Al the present early
stage Of building, the stone work
having reached q point where one can

| church and the structure being erect
cd is to be both substantial and ornate
in all respects worthy to stand as
4 memorial for all time to come to the

| nomination in Maine. The total cost
Of the building viii, It IS estimated, be
about 500, This sum is not al in
sight yet. but the funds on hand and
| procurable viii doubtless be sufficient
to permit Of thu completion of the
chapel section. and this will do nicely
for meeting purposes until the time
when it is convenient to finish the main
| part.
