Nancy Jane Dunning Passed Away - Peacefully at the dawn of a new day, March 13th, after an illness of one week. Nancy Jane Dunning was the eighth daughter of Henry and Nancy Ann Dunning, and is the last one of a family of ten children. The Dunning family came to Missouri in 1848, from Walona, Trig County, Ky., coming through in covered wagons. Nancy jane's mother drove a team of horses and her father, a team of oxen. They settled on the old Dunning homestead, northwest of Deepwater. At this home Nancy Jane Dunning was born, December 14, 1850. Deceased was 82 years, 2 months and 29 days old at the time of her death, and had spent her entire life at the home where she was born, and where her funeral services were conducted. This home was left to her by her father some 50 years ago and she had always loved it. She shared her home lovingtly with her brother, W. H. Dunning, deceased, and his wife and chidlren. Aunt Ning, as almost everyone called her, was afflicted from birth, having a small right hand and right foot, therefore it was a pleasure to have with her the only brother and his family. In her younger days she could sew, cook, and do whatever she wished. Her entire life was useful, in some way. Fifteen years ago she lost the sight of her eyees and had lived since almost in total darkness, yet she was always cheerful, seldom did she complain of her afflictions. She was converted and joined the Deepwater Baptist church in July, 1903, under the pastorate of Rev. H. S. Tornhill, and was a good Christian woman. Her immediate relatives left to mourn her departure are her sister-in-law, Lillie Dunning; her nieces and nephews, the children of her brother, W. H. Dunning, who passed away three years ago; W. F. Levy, Dodge City, Kans.; Bert Levy, W. R. Dunning, Loomis, Calif., and Hardaman Dunning, Deepwater. Her body was tenderly laid away in the old cemetery near her home, Tuesday afternoon. Many relatives and friends will feel a personal loss in the departure of this good woman. (obit from Henry Co. website, used with permission.)
