News of the death of Joseph L Dunstan was a great shock to his many friends here and elsewhere Mir. Dunstans death occurred Thursday evening at Boston hospital, following a surgical operation performed that Monday. MT. Dunstan had made himself a valuable member of the community, not only in his readiness 10 give a helping hand to his neigh bor, but in his services as organist at the church, as member of the choir, ot the quartette, and of the various or chestras which have frequently giv- en their services for public interests. AS rural delivery carrier. also as jan itor of the church, he made host of friends. Much sympathy is felt for the oldest son, Arthur, left at the home, and the second son, Lawrence, who a year ago enlisted in the U. $. navy and has not since been able to see his father TeleGrams telling of his fath- ers death had not at last reports been able to reach him. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the church which was crowded. The service was conducted by Rev. E. c. Aver. The choir. of which Mir. Dun stan has been a member, sang the hymns which he requested. the same as sung over a year ago at the fu neral of his wife. The floral offer ings were unusually beautiful Ser vices at the grave were conducted by more than 90 of MT. Dunstar's broth CTS of UrieI lodge.
