Lorenzo Dunham was born in Bedford township, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, May 29, 1903, aged 69 years, 9 months and 18 days.
He was the youngest of twelve children born to John and
Elizabeth Dunham, of whom five are left, Alonzo Dunham, of Angola, Ind., John and Asa Dunham, Laura Hubbell and Elizabeth Wheeler, of Bedford, Ohio. He was married to Sarah Ann Riddles, on March 14, 1860. On Feb. 14, 1864, they moved to York township. Of the five children born to them, four with their mother are left to mourn the loss of a kind father and true husband.
His hatred of shams, of whatever nature, was almost a passion, and he could never make a pretense of seeming to be that which he knew in his heart he was not. In the community where he has lived so long, he was loved and respected. His upright and blameless life, his patience and cheerfulness through the years of suffering, his kindness as a neighbor and constancy as a friend, won the hearts of all. No murmurings, no distrust, but with perfect confidence and peace he passed over the river to that land where there is no hunger, no pain nor sorrow.
