"It was in Crawfordville, Indiana, on the 14th of February, 1863, that Patrick C. Dunne was united in marriage to Miss Bridget M. Talty, who was born at Milltown, county Clare, Ireland, January 28, 1840, and died at El Paso, June 25, 19095 [sic]. She was either the first or second woman to locate permanently in this city. For several years she survived her husband, who died in El Paso, December 26, 1897. They left a family of seven sons and two daughters, of whom Joseph Dunne is the youngest son. All were born in Chicago, and George Dunne lives in El Paso with his brother Joseph, as does their sister Nannie, who is now principal of the East El Paso high school. The other sister, Mrs. Kate Studman, resides at Durango, Mexico, and four of the brothers are doing well in business at Yuma, Arizona,-W.
