    Tribute to the memory of a loving wife and a Christian woman who sleeps the sleep of Eternity.

    Wheatland, Ind, April 6 - Mrs. Joseph A. Dunn, who died April 1, 1888, was born Aug. 27, 1853, and was therefore aged 34 years, 7 months and five days, at the time of her death. Her maiden name was Amanda E. Prather, and she was married to Joseph A. Dunn, April 2, 1875. This union was blessed with six children, four of whom survive, two sons and two daughters. The other two have gone on before. She united with the M. E. Church when about 14 years of age, and lived ever after a good Christian life. When death seemed probable, she said to her husband: "We have been talking about moving, but the home to which we are going is beautiful. I am going now, but you will come soon; we will all be happy there. Take good care of the children, take them to chruch and Sunday school and train them in the fear of the Lord". Clyde.
