NY 1st Dragoons
Report of the Adjutant General:
Dunn, Daniel D.--Age, 23 years. Enlisted, August 5, 1862, at Mt. Morris, N.Y.; mustered in as private, Co. B, August 8, 1862, to serve three years; appointed sergeant, July 18, 1864; wounded, October 19, 1864; mustered out, May 29, 1865, in hospital, Philadelphia, Pa.

Daniel D. Dunn died at his home in Scottsburg at noon on Saturday, July 10th, aged 70 years. Always very active and energetic, it was a surprise to his army comrades and acquaintences to learn early in the spring that he was suffering with a throat trouble and that he was confined to the house by his ailment, and it was with real sorrow that later it was discovered that his illness was so deepseated that recovery was impossible, so he gradually failed until Saturday when he was "mustered out."
Mr. Dunn was born at North Plains, Michigan, in 1839 and he had lived in Scottsburg many years, the greater part of the time for several years being spent as a traveling salesman for large harvesting machinery firms and for fertilizer firms, a position he held to the satisfaction of his employers.
In October 1862, Mr. Dunn enlisted in Co. B, 130th New York Infantry, later changed to the 19th Cavalry and known as the First Dragoons, and was at once appointed to corporal, later promoted to sergeant, a position he held until the close of the war. He participated in all the actions in which his regiment was engaged until at the battle of Cedar Creek in 1864 when he was severely wounded and was sent to the hospital, and being unable to do further duty in the field he was kept on duty at the hospital until May, 1865, when he was honorably discharged from the army. His faithfulness as a soldier is attested by his comrades and by the fact of his holding the office of sergeant as long as he did. Three of his brothers who were in the service at the same time laid down their lives on the field of battle. Mr. Dunn joined Seth N. Hedges Post, G.A.R. at Dansville in 1882 and retained his membership as long as he lived.
Mr. Dunn's wife, who was Miss Adaline Krisher, died nearly four years ago. He leaves two daughters and three sons: Mrs. L.M. Sackett of Geneseo and Miss Libbie Dunn of Scottsburg, Benjamin Dunn of Auburn, Miles Dunn of Canandaigua and Erwin Dunn of Rochester. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Libbie Keeler of Big Rapids, Michigan, who reached Scottsburg ten minutes after her brother died.
The funeral was held from the house on Tuesday, the officers of Seth N. Hedges Post conducting the services. The house was filled with friends and acquaintences who had come to pay tribute to one who was highly esteemed. The commander of the Post read the burial service and referred briefly to the army services of the deceased, Rev. R.W. Hargrave of Scottsburg offered prayer, Miss Mattie Lee and Miss Bessie Logan sang appropriate selections, and Rev. A.M. Simonton of Scottsburg pronounced the benediction. The interment took place in Union cemetery. The sons and son-in-law acting as bearers, at which place the ritual service of the Grand Army was used, the comrades depositing on the flower covered casket the wreath, the rose, the laurel leaf and the flag. Rev. Mr. Simonton dismissing the large gathering with the benediction.
