Obituary of Mrs. I. D. Dunn ' Nancy Bayliss Dunn, daughter of John and Harriet Coffin, was born in Edgartown, Mass., November 15, 1832; departed this life April 12, 1916, aged 83 years, 4 months and 27 days. She spent her childhood days bn the island of Martha’s Vineyard, on which Edgartown, Mass., is located. She was united in marriage to Isaac D. Dunn in 1854. To this union two boys and one daughter were born. John C. Dunn and George N. Dunn, both of Wichita, Kan., and Carrie <?. Seegrist of Tefft, Ind. There are ten grandchildren living, I Charles Isaac Dunn, Georgia M. Coggins, John Hershel Dunn, Paul F. Dunn, Alice Dunn, children of John C.: Clifford M. Dunn, Elizabeth Nancy Dunn, children of George M., and Walter H. Seegrist and Gilbert Seegrist, children of Carrie C. Seegrist. Three great-grand-children and one sister. Mrs. Carrie B. Huxford of New London, Conn., survive ■ her. In March. 18 73, the family moved to the old farm north of Tefft from Richmond, Ind., where Mr. arid Mrs. I. D. Dunn had settled shortly after their mc- r : T ge. The two older children were born while living in Richmond. Mrs. Dunn had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church from early childhood. While living in Richmond she was an active member of Grace M. E. and later of Tefft, Ind. At the time of their coming to Kankakee township the territory was purely pioneer ground. Although from the city, Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Dunn soon found their place and at once proceeded to fill it. Mrs. Dunn was never strong physically, but her power of endurance was great, and no call for help was ever turned aside whether it came at midnight or noon. Nearly everybody in the county and adjacent territory knew her as “Aunt Nancy.” Not a few because of her self-sacrifice and love for them. Her home was the stopping place for all the Methodist ministers and any one w’ho needed it. It would not be exaggerating to say '•.Aunt Nancy” was another Dorcas Funeral services were held Friday afternoon by the pastor, Rev. G. A. Emerich, at Tefft M. E. church, and I burial made beside her husband in Wheatfield cemetery.
