James w. Dunn

Death has again claimed one
of the oldest citizens of Caldwell
parish in point of years and one
who has done a mans part in
the upbuilding of the parish
since 1857.
James W. Dunn was born in
Mississippi Sc years and months
ago. He fought a O. good fight
and passed to his reward on
Wednesday June 10, at the home
of one of his grandsons, Ernest
Dunn, at the latter's home near
Ola. Mr.. Dunn had been sick
for a number of months, due to
the infrmities of old age. He
left his home Monday of last
week to visit his grandson at
Ola. On his arrival he was
taken worse and gradually the
spark of life became more and
more dim until the end came
peacefully on Wednesday.
Mr.. Dunn is survived by a
widow and two daughters Mrs.
Prestige Of Ola and Mrs. Nc
Daniel, who lives on Bayou
Macon-a sister, Mrs. S. E.
Thomas and one brother, D. J.
Dunn, of Columbia. A large
number Of grandchildren also
survive him.
James w. Dunn was born in
Amite County, Miss, on Sept.
8, 1927. He grew up there and
married. During 1857 he NOV
ed to Caldwell parish with his
father, bringing his wife and
three children. He settled in
Ward 6, where he spent his days
farming. When the civil war
broke out he enlisted in the
Twelfth Louisiana Infantry, and
saw active service throughout
the struggle. Returning home
he was one of those who brought
order out of chaos and restored
the rule of the whites.
For the past several years, on
account of his extreme age, he
had been unable to take an ac-
tive part in farm work.
The interment took place last
Thursday in the Union Chapa
cemetery, in Ward 9, where j
host of his kin are sleeping Il 81
