Hi Everyone, I'm new to your list, and I'm searching for my DUNN ancestors in Lena. Joseph James and Elizabeth (Barber) DUNN had 6 children: James, John, Jane, DeWitt, Harriett and Sarah. Joseph and Elizabeth moved from Pennsylvania to Stephenson Co. in 1834. Their son, John (b. 1832), my great-grandfather, married Priscilla Drane, and they had 3 children: Emma, James and Lillie, my grandmother. I know Lillie grew up in Lena. DeWitt's son, John C. Dunn, was president of the Citizens' State Bank in Lena until his death in 1962. His daughter, Helene, was a music teacher in the Lena school system. Helene's cousin, Mary DUNN, taught history and social studies in Lena until her retirement in 1953. Mary also served as treasurer of the cemetery board, president of the women's club, and as a member of the public library board. I also have the obituary for my great-aunt Sarah (Dunn) SAWTELLE which says she was buried in the Lena Cemetery (b. 1834 and d. 1918). Other surnames which have ties to the DUNNs and possibly to Lena are: BABCOCK, FORD, NIXON, HOOKER, HEWITT, KAUFFMAN, VANSICKLE, HECHT, STEELE, PICKARD, HUCK, WESSELS, FOWLER, FENTON. Do any of you recognize these names? If not, can anyone direct me to a good resource in Lena? Does Lena have a historical society? Has anyone recorded the inscriptions on the grave markers in the Lena Cemetery? I'd love to find a living relative in Lena who may give me info on my ancestors. Thank you for any help, Debbie
