The community finds it nigh impossible
to adjust itself to the fact that another
prominent citizen has so soon passed of
the scene of action, SO sudden, so unex-
pected was the death of our esteemed
townsman, Joseph E. Dunn. In his home
in his church, in his life work, he was
ever the same reliable, trustworthy man
Through series of years, business trans
actions revealed to the writer his innate
honesty and integrity. He has been one
of the few who always manifested an in
terest in affairs of our cemetery, and was a
judicious adviser as to its improvements
He will be missed on the official board
At the call, ''To arms" of our country,
his response was Ready. Wars grim
service over, the return to peaceful citizen
ship found him ready; and though Sc
sudden, SO silent, this latest call, we know
his answer to this summons was ''Feady"
The wife and two daughters have the
heartfelt sympathy of all. May they be
divinely comforted! As the husband and
father was ever kindly thoughtful and
helpful to those similarly afflicted, so may
they find friendly burden bearers in this
time of their affection.
