The Times, Clay Center, Kansas:
How quickly, how unexpectedly, may death be here and life be gone. Almost without a moment's warning, Frank Dunable, a well known resident of Clay Center, answered the final summons Saturday night. Death was attributed to acute indigestion. He was a comparatively young man, or might be termed middle aged. Few of his friends knew that he had not been feeling well. Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Dunable and son came down together in their automobile. Mr. Dunable was stricken as he was passing the Tankersley Hotel and expired before a doctor could be summoned. His death was a very great shock to his relatives and friends. The story of his life as prepared by his pastor, Dr. M.O. Clemmons, is as follows:
Franklin Lafayette Dunable was born near Oak Hill in Clay county, Kansas, July 18, 1875, and died in the downtown district of Clay Center at 10 p.m. May 20, 1932 aged 56 years, 10 months and 2 days. He was the youngest of two brothers in the family of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Dunable, his father and brother having preceded him in death. His mother, Mrs. Martha Allen of this city, has had from him the tender care of an obedient and parent-honoring son, all the years of his life. Into the home came a niece of the mother when she was a small child, and this niece was reared as a sister to the boys. This cousin is now Mrs. Mary Greer of Chicago. When Frank was 3 years old the family moved to Clay Center and practically all of his life since that time as been spent in this immediate vicinity. From his early childhood he was a regular attendant in the Baptist Sunday school and a good many years ago he confessed his faith in the Savior and became a member of the church, in which fellowship he continued till his death.
Mr. Dunable was married March 11, 1921, to Edith Mae Pray, and into this home came a beloved son, William, now a little past ten years of age. Frank took a course in veterinary medicine in the College at Indianapolis, and practiced that art for many years, but in recent years he has employed himself of the land where he has made his home and engaged in occupations there on the land. He loved his home and family with intense devotion and chose to spend his time in the comfort of his own home rather than elsewhere.
He was honorable and unright (upright?) in all his business dealings and sought to retain the respect of all who dealt with him. He was a good neighbor and shared his substance generously with those in need. His going will work a great hardship on some who have looked to him for counsel and aid in these recent times of difficulty. He leaves to mourn his going, his mother, Mrs. Martha Allen, his wife, Mrs. Edith Dunable, his son William, his cousin Mrs. Mary Greer, and many other relatives and friends of this community.
Funeral services were held at the Baptist church Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Wallace W. Carpenter of Topeka who paid a beautiful tribute to the many excellent virtues of the departed. The past of the church assisted in the services. A male quartet made up of Dr. H.K. Benneson, Verner Alquist, A.R. Woodall and Alfred Humfeld sang "The Old Rugged Cross", "Jesus Savior Pilot Me" and "City Four Square." The pall bearers were F.O. Oberg, J.H. Kerby, R.W. Sparrowhawk, Ben Knowlton, Ed Nordquist and Jesse Reed. Burial was in Greenwood Cemetery.
