BRIDGET DUNN A brief mention was made in these columns last week of the death of Mrs. Bridget Dunn last Thursday morning, but the following is more complete obituary: Mrs. Bridgett Dunn was born in Limerick, Ireland, October 30, 1837, and with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Sheridan, immigrated to Durham, Ontario, Canada, in 1851, and took up their residence on a farm. At the age of 16 years she was united in marriage with Patrick Dunn, of the same place. After residing in Canada for eleven years, they moved to Negaunee, Michigan, in 1864. Here Mr. Dunn followed the occupation of mining for three years and for seven years was engaged as a policeman. Desirous of following his former occupation, farming, he moved with his family to Le Mars, Plymouth county, Iowa, in 1874, and was, therefore, one of the early pioneer families of this county, enduring all the hardships attached to all early settlers in those days of short crops and grasshopper devastations. Mrs. Dunn, after the death of her husband, moved with her family from the farm in Grant township, this county, to Akron, Iowa, in 1899, which has since been her home. She was stricken with paralysis December 14, 1915, from which she never fully recovered, and she passed peacefully away Thursday morning May 17, 1917. she was preceded in death by her husband and four children. She leaves to mourn her departure six children-Mrs. J. M. McCarty, of Sheldon, Iowa; John P. Dunn, of Manila, Philippine Islands; Mrs. M. A. Agnes, Mrs. T. J. Redmond, Miss Margaret Dunn and P. H. Dunn, all of Akron. Mrs. Dunn was one of the most kindly mothers, a helpful and generous neighbor and a loyal friend, every ready with a word of cheer and never known to say aught of anyone. A devout member of the Roman Catholic church, her daily life exemplified the true teachings of her faith. Funeral services were held Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock, in the church of St. Patrick, Father D. K. Hurley officiating. A large number of friends were in attendance as a last mark of respect to the memory of the departed. Interment was in the Catholic cemetery here.
