Obituary
Wm. F. Dunham Dexter friends of William F. Dunham were shocked to learn of his sudden death which occurred Tuesday morning at 7:30 o'clock at the home of his sister, Mrs. Parker Mower, in this town. Death was due to heart failure. Mr. Dunham had been in poor health for the past six weeks but death came very suddenly Tuesday morning. Arriving here from their home in Hialeah, Fla., only ten days ago, the Dunham family were visiting Mr. and Mrs. Parker Mower prior to going to their cottage at Camp Benson. The deceased was born in Dexter, Feb. 7, 1856, the son of B. F. and Mary Anna Goff Dun- ham. He passed practically his entire life in this town, conducting a large farm on the North Dexter road until four years ago, when he sold his farm property and retiring went to Hialeah, Fla., where he had made his home since, coming north each summer to pass the vacation days at his cottage at Camp Benson. Besides his wife, Mrs. Mabel Peavy Dunham, he is survived by one daughter, Miss Anna Dunham, who is employed as a druggist at the Jackson Memorial hospital in Miami, Fla., and one sister, Mrs. Parker Mower, of this town. The deceased was a member of Ply- mouth lodge, I. 0. 0. F., of this town. Funeral arrangements will not be made until word is received from Miss Anna Dunham.
