    1. [Dunn] DUNN Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Mr. & Mrs. S. S. DUNN'S home north of Harmony, Minnesota. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's by the Ray Moore Studio in Harmony, MN. Based on limited research I was able to locate information regarding this family and have included that information below: Theodosia or Theadosia HALSEY b. 9 Sept 1837 in Milford, NJ married Samuel S. DUNN b. 5 Feb 1832 in NJ in 1854 in NJ. Together the couple had 11 children including, Ella; William Henry; Lucy A.; George; Orril Jane; Alice; Marcus; Norman S.; Samuel Elwood; Herbert; and Charles E. DUNN. The children were born between 1857 and 1876 in Sauk Co. WI and Fillmore Co. MN. Samuel S. DUNN died in 1907 in Preston, MN and Theodosia or Theadosia HALSEY DUNN died 9 Oct 1909 in Preston Township, MN. Census records provide the following information: 1870 census of Preston, MN: S. S.
