Camillus Dunbar, machinist, was born in Stark County, Ohio, in 1849, and when fifteen years of age moved to Howard County, Ind. He received a common-school education during his youth, and learned the moulder's trade at Kokomo, serving an apprenticeship of three years. In 1870 he came to Missouri, and after traveling around some time he and his brothers erected their foundry and machine works in Glenwood Township, where they are now in business, the firm name being Dunbar Bros. In connection with their manufactory they are also engaged in general repairing. He was reared a farmer, but as he did not like a farmer's life has devoted his time to mechanical occupations. In 1885 his marriage with Mary Rigg was solemnized. In politics he is a Republican, his first presidential vote having been cast for Gen. Grant. He is a son of Aaron and Jeanette (Doolittle) Dunbar, both natives of Connecticut. They afterward moved to Stark County, Ohio, where they passed the remainder of their days. Of six children (three sons and three daughters) our subject is the youngest son. Only two of the sons survive, both mechanics. The three daughters are living. At the death of his parents Mr. Dunbar was but five years old, and his early life after that time was spent with his guardian, Alexander Maxwell, of Portage County, Ohio.
