Ephraim Lower.--Mrs. Clark.

Following closely the demise of !
his beloved wife, which occurred
little more than two weeks previous,
william F. Dunn, our well-known
nbarmacist, who suffered a nervous
breakdown, never recovered the shock
and died Saturday evening at $50
o'clock. The almost complete wiping
ont of family so we'll and popularity
known, is one of the saddest cases
on record in Smyrna. Mr.. Dunn was
one of those genial and pure-minded
citizens whom every one liked and his
long association in the drug business
in SMYRNA gave him a wide acquain-
tance not only in Smryna and vicin-
itv. but throughout the State. He
was an almost regular attendant at
the meetings of the Pharmaceuti-
cal Society of Delaware and had been
honored with many offices from the
presidency down. Deceased was a
son of the late Robert G. and Rebec-
ca (Reynolds) Dunn, of Camden, in
which vicinity he was born and raised
and spent his early life. After COM
pleting his education at Wyoming
Seminary, from which he graduated
in 1879, Mr.. Dunn started in the drug
profession in Baltimore. He came
to Smyrna about 1887 and was pre-
scription clerk for Ashcraft and Cliff
ton, which later became the firm of
Clifton and Raymond. Mr.. Dunn
soon after purchased the drug busi-
ness of the late j. Wesley Denney at
which stand he continued business up
to the time of his death. He received
his diploma from the Medical College
of Pharmacy of Baltimore in 1898.
Mr.. Dunn was a member of Harmony
Lodge No. Is A. F. and A. M, and
member of Smyrna Conclave No.
45I. o. H. He was a member and
for several years a vestryman of st.
Peters Church. On February 26,

felt sympathy; his aged mother
