Died at her home in Frankfort, Ind., Sunday morning, Aug. 27, at 5 o’clock, Mrs. Maria C. Dunn, wife of the late Dr. W. P. Dunn. Mrs. Dunn was born in Vincennes, Ind., on the 12th of October, 1817, and was a direct descendant of Toussainte Dubois, who was one of the prominent settlers of Indiana. Upon the death of her parents, when she was a small child, she came to Crawfordsville, and made her home with her uncle and aunt, Major and Mrs. Ambrose Whitlock. Here she grew to womanhood and was married in 1843 to Dr. Dunn. They soon after removed to Frankfort, where they lived all their lives. She was the mother of the late Mrs. H. R. Tinsley, and a sister of Mrs. E. A. Binford, Mrs. Lusanne Ingersoll and Miss Janey Jones, all of whom have preceded her to the better world. She was a woman of a very bright mind and kept herself posted on all of the affairs of the times. She was a fond mother, a good neighbor, kind and charitable, and very loyal to her friends, was proud of being an American and a native of Indiana. She was a devoted member of the Episcopal Church. She leaves one son, Robert L. Dunn, who is in business in Frankfort. Peace be to her ashes. - s
