She was one of a family of four, her parents having been Homer, and Julia Anne Hoyt, pioneers from New York.
From 1912 until 1922 she lived with her family in Saskatchewan, but aside from these years the greater part of her life was spent in, Mills county. When a young woman she taught for three years in the schools of the county, and throughout her long life she continued to take the keenest interest in the profession.
She was married Oct. 24, 1878, to James Thomas Dunbar of Marion county, Iowa, and to them were born seven children: Mrs. Lois Roberts of Glenwood, Mrs. Julia Fleming, Malvern; Vern, of Skidmore, Mo.; Ancil of Langdon, Mo.; Mrs. Anne Coulter, Stranraer, Saskatchewan, and Mrs. Alice MacDonald of Stranraer.

She is survived by her children, her husband, a sister, Mrs. Roxy Stroud of Malvern, a brother, Hiram, of Battle Creek, Mich., 29 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and
numerous nieces and nephews.
She was a friendly, cheerful person and made friends readily. She loved companionship and took great pleasure in church and social affairs until she was crippled by a fall some years ago. Since then her life has been filled with pain and suffering, but she continued to take an active interest in those about her
Although her hearing was impaired, her mind was unusually keen and alert, and her personality was enjoyed by all who came in contact with her.
She was a member of the United Brethren church, and ever a devout Christian whose faith sustained her constantly in pain and sorrow. Her last sickness was of short duration,
and she fell asleep peacefully with loved ones at her side.
Funeral services were held in the Myers funeral home here in Glenwood Friday afternoon, with Rev. D. W. Dobson in charge, assisted by Rev. L. W. Verts.
