He is survived by his wife Mattie of Alturas; son Roger, daughter Shirley Tonn, four grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and a brother, Warren Dunn of Modesto, California, and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by daughter Beverly Brown and siblings Vivian Paddock, Gene Dunn, and Lois Bailey. Mr. Dunn saw military action in the Pacific Theater of Operation during World War II. While in the military, he married Mattie Fern Pearce in 1946 in Norton, Kansas. To this union was born Shirley, Beverly and Roger. After discharge from the military in 1947, Lyle, Mattie, and first child, Shirley moved back to Alturas, CA. Beverly and Roger were born in Alturas. Lyle went to work for Albert Smith at the Riverside Texaco gas station, which he purchased a couple of years later. At this time Mattie started teaching in the elementary school in Davis Creek and later transferred to the Alturas Elementary School. Eleven years later he sold the Texaco Station and purchased the Mobile Oil Station at 4th and Main Streets. He operated this business for some 14 years, before he sold it Lyle then, in 1964, went to work for the Modoc County Road Department and retired in 1984. During his working years he earned a private pilot's license while operating the Texaco station. He belonged to a Flying Club and was happy to take along family and friends when he would fly. One of his many volunteer services was to fly friends to Reno, Redding and Klamath Falls for medical treatment During this time he was a champion horse shoe pitcher. So many trophies were won that they were finally relegated to a place in the garage. He attended tournaments in Nevada and Oregon as well as California. Much enjoyment was had pitching horse shoes with his friends, even in the middle of winter, in specially built shelters Other activities included being a caller for the Alturas Allemanders square dance club. He taught beginning classes as well as advanced classes. He was also a guest caller for other clubs in the area Perhaps one of his least known activities was dowsing (witching for water). Lyle witched some 167 plus wells. The wells he witched that were drilled typically were at the depth and gallonage he said they would be. One well that he witched came as predicted at about 24,000 gallons per minute He was a member of the International Order of Odd Fellows and held all the offices in that lodge. Lyle was also a member of the Federated Church and over the years did much volunteer work such as, but not limited to, keeping up the grounds and building flower planters Lyle also volunteered his services at the Senior Citizens Center in various capacities in Alturas. He helped haul used clothing to Sacramento for distribution. One type of deed he will be remembered for is his selfless volunteering his time and car to take people to Reno, Klamath Falls, and Redding for medical appointments, waiting until the person had their appointment, then bringing them home Lyle was a typical Modocer: well thought of, well liked, a great family man, generous, and willing to help others without considering what was in it for him. A memorial service will be held at the Federated Church in Alturas on Friday, October 8, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. Refreshments will be served in the Fellowship Hall following the services It is requested that any donations may be made to the Senior Citizen Center, 906 West Fourth St., Alturas, CA 96101 or the Federated Community Church, Alturas. Services are under the direction of Kerr Mortuary
