Will accept this edit, but with the caution that it has not been fully vetted by this contributor. A search of Dunkel family information on census records on Ancestry appears to indicate that George was born in Iowa. Exactly where in Iowa is subject to some interpretation, especially considering that no birth records for Iowa existed as/of 1879, so even using census records beyond "Iowa" should be done with caution, as where the family lived after he was born may or may not be where they lived when he was born. ------------------- Note: obituary transcriptions added June 25,2016: > Fairfield Daily Ledger Friday October 4, 1957 Pg. 1 Col. 2 Dr. G.
