Washington Democrat (Washington, IN) 17 Mar 1925 Tuesday
NATIVE OF COUNTY DEAD AT BEDFORD
Mrs. Margaret Dunn, Born Here in 1873 Expires of Blood Poisoning - Burial at Loogootee

Mrs. Margaret Ann Dunn, aged 54 years, 6 months and 27 days, wife of Wm. Francis Dunn, resident at 1702 South L Street, passed away shortly before 7 o'clock Sunday evening at St. Joseph's Infirmary at Louisville, Kentucky, where she was taken a week ago today for treatment of erysipelas of the right leg, says the Bedford Democrat. Her illness developed about two weeks ago and when she failed to respond satisfactorily to medical treatment offered here, she was taken to Louisville where a specialist attended her. Blood poisoning was found to have developed on her arrival at the Louisville Infirmary and despite the fact that everything known to medical science was done to save her life, all efforts proved fruitless.

Margaret Ann Walker was born in Daviess County on August 18, 1873, and was the only child to bless the union of George W. and Julia Ann Walker. After being reared to young womanhood there she was united in marriage on May 24, 1898, to William Francis Dunn and to their union eleven children were born, two of whom have preceded the mother to the grave. The surviving children are Edna, Afra, Inez, Delphia, Cleophas, Mary, Everett, Alvin, and Bernard, all at home.

She was a devout member of the Catholic church throughout her life.

Mrs. Dunn's condition was recognized as fatal Saturday night and her physician so informed the husband, who had been with her since she was taken to the Kentucky institution. He immediately summoned the children to her bedside and all went down Saturday immediately after the message was received. They remained until Sunday forenoon when all, except Afra, returned home, she remaining with her father. Mrs. Dunn's condition on the hour of their departure showed little change over that recorded on Saturday when the children were summoned and it was thought she might survive several days. Returning here about noon Sunday, the children later learned about 6 o'clock Sunday evening that their mother's condition was unchanged, but about an hour later the death message arrived.

The remains were brought to Daviess county Tuesday afternoon and funeral services will be conducted from St. Mary's Catholic Church near Loogootee, but the definite date and time has not been arranged. Interment will follow in St. Mary's cemetery.
