The Roanoke Leader obituary, August 10, 1927:
MR. D.S. DUNKIN IS CALLED AWAY AT HONORED AGE
Having passed his four score years and almost reached another milestone, Mr. D.S. Dunkin passed peacefully away at his home in this city shortly after noon on Thursday, August 4th, as a result of a stroke of paralysis suffered nine days before. He retained consciousness to the day before the end, and had the satisfaction of knowing that all the members of his family were with him in his last days. He received the constant ministrations of physicians and nurses as well as members of his family but he realized that his days were numbered and he expressed himself as being not only ready, but anxious to go.
The funeral services were conducted at the home at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, Rev. N.H. Abernethy in charge and was assisted by Rev. R.M. Archibald. A large and representative gathering was present to show respect to the memory of this worthy citizen and to attest their sympathy for those called upon to mourn the loss of one so dearly loved. There were many handsome floral offerings from individuals and organizations.
Mr. Dunkin spent his long life in this vicinity and had been a resident of Roanoke about thirty years. While yet a youth he attached himself to the Army of the Confederacy during the last year of the war, being assigned to home duty but never claimed his connection in the ranks of the United Confederate veterans, due to his modest disposition. Not only in the Army, but in the dark days that followed the close of the war, Mr. Dunkin saw much hard service and did a full part in laying the foundations upon which the South has so soon risen to a position of prestige and prosperity in the sisterhood of the states.
The deceased is survived by a family that is an honor to him and to whom he was devoted, consisting of the wife and two chldren, Mr. W.S. Dunkin of Los Angeles, California and Mrs. W.W. Stevenson of Roanoke. Two grandsons, Hugh and Frank Stevenson are also left to mourn the loss the patriarch of the family and to hold in reverent memory his many virtues.
