THE PASSING OF A PIONEER
DR. ALBERT L. DUNN DIED AT HIS HOME IN THIS CITY AT 7 O'CLOCK YESTERDAY MORNING.
Dr. A.L. Dunn, of 25 East Second street, was summoned by the death messenger at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. At the time of his passing, which was caused by softening of the brain, Dr. Dunn was seventy-seven years of age.
The deceased was born in New Jersey on July 21, 1827, one of a family of eight children, all of whom were among the pioneers of the great middle west. He lived successively in New York, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, and Missouri.
He was married Nov. 9, 1855 in Marshal county, Iowa, to Nancy A. Parnell, who survives him with the following children, who are all residents of Oklahoma City, Ed L. Dunn, Mrs. W.W. Storm, Mrs. W.H. Pitts and Mrs. F.M. Butts. There are also seven grandchildren in the immediate family.
He was graduated in 1853 from the Electic Medical college of Philadelphia and for nearly thirty years was a practicing physician in the states of Iowa and Missouri.
He came to Oklahoma City on the opening day on the first train from Purcell and secured the lots upon which the North Side hotel now stands. This popular pioneer hostelry he built and conducted for many years, retiring about five years ago.
He served the first ward as councilman for six years—from 1890 to 1896—and for the latter four of that period was its president. About two years ago he suffered a slight paralytic stroke, since which time he has traveled much to the various health resorts. Over a week since he was finally stricken and he passed peacefully away on Saturday morning.
The funeral services will be held from his late residence—25 East Second—on Sunday, at 2 p.m., Rev. F.M. Hawley, conducting the same. Interment at Fairlawn.
Dr. Dunn will be long remembered by the early settlers as a gentleman of uprightness and enterprise and closely in touch with the city's early development. In its dark days his faith in its future never faltered. And the opinion of our people will also be shared by a large acquaintance all over the Territory.
