Angus Dunkason died at his residence, 95 Pacific street, on Wednesday at 1.45 p. m. Death resulted from a stomach trouble, which was nearly fatal many months ago but a surgical operation performed by Dr. Conant of Boston at the Massachusetts General hospital gave wonderful relief and last year he did full days work at his trade, that of mason. He had been gradually falling since the middle of March.
He was a native of Pictou, N. S., but came to the United States with his parents when an infant.
Mr. Dunkason was a son of Henry and Emma (Grant) Dunkason and was born Dec. 15, 1848. His parents resided in Essex and Gloucester after coming to Massachusetts. In 1861, when only 13 years of age he enlisted in the United States navy where he served till Aug. 27, 1865, on the steamers Glaucus and Emma and other vessels engaged in enforcing the blockade and other duties.
After the war Mr. Dunkason learned the mason's trade at Gloucester and early In the seventies he removed to Leominster where he was a contractor and builder for some 10 years. He built the Wood block, the Sterling Comb company's building, the Wachusett Shirt company's building, the Pierce schoolhouse at North Leominster and many other buildings within the town limits. He came to Fitchburg in December, 1884, where he has since resided and where he has been actively engaged in business as long as the state of his health permitted. Among the larger buildings erected where he had charge of the mason work were the C. C. church and the First Methodist church, the Edgerly, Goodrich street, Lunenburg street, and Highland avenue schoolhouses and also remodeled the School street school building, the Armory building, the Park block and many other buildings in Fitchburg; the public library building at Ashby and at Shirley. He has also worked at St. Johnsbury, Vt., Mandan, Dakota, and Amesbury, Littleton and many other places.
He was the youngest member of E.V. Sumner, Post 19, G. A. R., and was a member of Fraternal lodge, No. 152, Knights of Pythias. It was at one time supposed that he was the youngest member of the Grand Army in the United States, but there are probably one or two younger members.
He was the soul of honor and integrity as those who had business or social relations with him can testify. His quiet courage was a marked characteristic. He was a considerate employer, the best of neighbors and devoted to his family.
He married at Essex, Miss Melvina Andrews who died at Leominster leaving two sons, Walter M., and Carl S. who reside at Lawrence. His second marriage was in Sept. 1884, to Miss Adelaide A. Butterick of Bristol. N. H., who survives with her son, Raymond B. and daughter, Mrs. Alice E. Tapply, all of this city. Mr. Dunkason also leaves one brother Henry Dunkason, of this city and one sister, Mrs. Lottie McDonald of San Fracisco.
