Deceased had reached the ripe age of 75 years, and had been a resident of this community since 1845, when he came with the many sturdy English emigrants, to become one of the best types of American citizenship. In 1848 he married Miss Jane Kendall, who died in 1867, after bearing him seven sons, six of these survive to honor his memory and reflect his manly worth. Three of them - Edward C., Alfred and William K. reside in Colorado; the other three -Frederick, James H. and Llewellyn - reside in and near this city. In 1868 Mr. Dunn found a second worthy wife in Miss Harriet Sims, who lives to mourn as his widow. Most of his life energies were spent in making a farm in Mineral Point town, but for several years past he has been a resident in the city' He was esteemed as a man of sturdy honesty' often elected to responsible offices in his town, and once was the republican nominee for sheriff.
