Dunn Died in Winnfield, La., Saturday, Feb. 6, 1909, of pneumonia, Mrs. Lizzie R. Dunn, age 69 years, wife of David F. Dunn, a veteran of the Third Louisiana Infantry. Death loves a shining mark and seldom has the Pale Rider caused more profound sorrow than the unexpected demise of this most estimable Christian woman. Mrs. Dunn came to this place shortly after the war and was a native of Mississippi. She married David F. Dunn in 1867, and for 42 years was the faithful wife, the Christian mother, and the useful and beloved resident of Winnfield. She was an active and useful member of the William Walker Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and a devoted member of the Methodist Church. Her life was perfected by death. Seldom have more touching testimonials been tendered to mortal clay than was centered around the pulseless form of the revered dead. The funeral services from the church were solemnly tendered and pathetically feeling. Rev. Bowman, Methodist minister, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Wm. A. Rollie, Presbyterian minister, and Rev. J. R. Edwards, Baptist minister. After the services the grief-laden relatives, the Daughters of the Confederacy, in whose labors of love and devotion she had participated, old veterans of the war and sorrowing friends gathered about the casket and took a farewell look at the pacid face of the dead. She was interred in the Jerusalem Cemetery about four miles from Winnfield. The gray clouds canopied the heavens, the living green of cedars overshadowed the spot and the tall pines sang their requiem as she was laid to her final rest. A beautiful wreath of carnations, chrysanthemums, and hyacinths was tenderly placed upon the mound of earth, the loving tribute of her colaborers. The aged husband, H. C. Dunn, a son, and two daughters, Mrs. Florence Culpepper of Armstead and Henrietta Levant of Danville, Texas, and numerous relatives and friends mourn her death. A tender sympathy is tendered the stricken family. --------------91C5FD1A3A7E220F47DCFAB6--
