Mr. Walter Dunn died rather un- expectedly on Thursday night of last week. The intelligence of his déath was quite a surprise to everybody, as nothing was known of his illness. In fact, he wasn’t really ill, beyond a weak spell he tOOk a day or two before his death. .He was in his 76th .year. and had always been industrious and in the enjoyment of good health. He has ,been failing, how'- ever, for the past two or three years. but .no one thought the end would come so soon, and with such' suddenness. - Mr. Dunn was born in Devon'- shire, England. on -the.25th of April‘ 1838, and in 18% came to Canada. For over . 30 yea-rs he years he lived in the townships of Darlinagt'on and «Cartwright. in the county .of Durham. He was married three times. first to Elizabeth .Courtice. who lived ODEIY a year or so, leaving no family. A couple of years after her death he married'a Miss Agâ€" nes MeGhue, and after three or four ryears she died. leaving a lit- tle girl as the only issue. After seven years, he married Miss Elspeth Ross, over 35 years ago. ~To them 'were born four daugh- ters and one son: Mrs. W. Farnell of Toronto, Mrs. J. Pinkerton of Durham. Mrs. Murray of Ethel. Agnes at home. and John. who died four or five years ago. .3“. About Bayears ago he‘ moved to Egremont, where he. lived until six or seven years ago. when he re- tired fno'm the farm and has since been a resident of .this town. The deceased \vas a quiet, inoffensive. man; honest in all his dealings. and respected by all who knew him. No particular reason for his stidden death has been assigned: he simply took a weak spell and passed away.
