SUDDEN DEATH –
James W. Dunn Victim of Apoplexy.
James W. Dunn, one of Franklin's well-known citizens, died suddenly a few minutes after eight o'clock at his home on South Home Avenue. He had been well during the day and had cut weeds part of the afternoon. He became very warm and mentioned this when at the barbershop between four and five o'clock where he went to get shaved. After supper he said to his wife, while they were seated on the porch, that he did not feel very well repeating that he had become too hot that afternoon cutting weeds. Soon afterwards he said he believed he would go in and lie down. This he did and it was but a short time afterwards when Mrs. Dunn heard her husband utter a quick cry as if in pain. She hastened in and saw that he was in a serious condition. She telephoned to Dr. Ross Payne also to Jack Dunn, and then hastened to the home of a neighbor, Charles Waltz, to notify them. Before she could return and also before the physician arrived Mr. Dunn had expired.
Death was due to apoplexy superinduced by the exercise taken that afternoon in the broiling sun and causing him to become overheated. He had stopped in the auditor's office while on the way to the barbershop and in conversation with Auditor Jennings said that he thought he and his wife would attend the Scoville revival meeting that night. This, however, was not done on account of his becoming ill.
Mr. Dunn was born August 18, 1846, and had just completed his 63rd year. He was the son of Samuel and Martha A. Coulters Dunn, and was born at Madison. He was married last January to Mrs. Lavina D. Tully who survives him. He is survived also by two brothers, Oren C. and John, both of this city and one sister Mrs. Alice Riker.
The deceased had done considerable work as contractor and the results of his efforts are especially to be noted in the improvements in the South part of town. He was a Mason and a member of the Presbyterian church. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 2:00 from the residence conducted by Dr. L. P. Marshall of Crawfordsville.
