A number of our people were saddened to hear on Christmas day that Mrs. Wallace DUNN, who lived for many years in Osceola, had passed away on Christmas eve at her home in Kewanee. She had been in failing health since last summer as she had been afflicted with heart trouble together with other complications and about three weeks ago underwent an operation from which she was unable to recover.
Polly Margaret STURM was born in Peoria county December 28, 1842, and would have been 78 years old yesterday had she lived that long but the end came on the night of the 24th. When she was but three weeks old her parents moved to Stark County and lived on a farm up near Bradford. This was her home until her marriage to Wallace DUNN after which they moved to a farm in Osceola. They made this their home until a short time ago when she and her husband moved to Kewanee.
To them were born five children, a son, Wallace, passing away in early childhood. The surviving children are Frank DUNN of Osceola; Haney DUNN of Bradford; Mrs. Eugene GERARD and David DUNN of Kewanee. There are also nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Mrs. DUNN is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Kate SHANNON of Kewanee; and Mrs. Melisse MESCALL of Cambridge.
Mrs. DUNN was a kind and loving wife and mother and her nature was such that she leaves many warm friends to mourn her death. Altho her home duties were many, she always found time to help those in need and those who were in trouble of any kind. These kind acts won her many friends who will mourn her death.
Short funeral service was held on Monday at the late residence in Kewanee and was conducted by Rev. I.C. TRENT, pastor of the Baptist church in Kewanee, after which the body was taken to Osceola where another service was held in charge of Rev. B.E. ALLEN, after which the interment was in the Osceola Grove cemetery. - Contributed by Karen Seeman
