From the January 12, 1892 Beardstown Illinoian newspaper Number 23:
On Sunday morning January 10, 1892, the spirit of Elizabeth, wife of Luke Dunn Sr., took its flight from earth to heaven. Her illness was but of a few days' duration. On New Year's day she was prostrated with pneumonia, and for several days it was hoped she would rally, but when it was realized that the foundation of her trouble was the result of a serious fall that she sustained in November last, then it became apparent that there was no hope. She begin fully conscious of this expressed her willingness to depart and be at rest in teh "Home over there."
She was born in Cornwall, England, February 4, 1826, married to Luke Dunn March 24, 1826. In June of that year they arrived in this country, settling on a farm in Sangamon bottom, in which neighborhood they lived until three years since when they took up their abode in this city. She lived to see her seven children attain the age of manhood and womanhood, whom with a grief-stricken husband deeply mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate mother, a faithful and loving wife; but her life-work is done, her afflictions are o'er, and on [you] evergreen shore she beckons by example and precept her nearest and dearest to follow. Forty-six years of married life is productive of attachments that are heart rending when broken. Her children rise up and call her blessed. She was a member of Grigg Chapel charge some thirty years, transferring her membership to the M. E. Church here but a few months since. The funeral services take place to-day at one o'clock, at the M. E. church conducted by her pastor Rev. W. S. Calhoun, the burial being a Oak Grove cemetery.
