Surnames: Dawson McCune Hardey Light Underwood Shanklin Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FMB.2ACE/2385 Message Board Post: WENTWORTH DAWSON departed this life at the home of his sister, Mrs. T.P. McCune, in Lamonte, Mo., Aug 21st, of slow paralysis, from which he had been a great sufferer for 2 1/2 years. He was born in Holmes county, Ohio, nearly 47 years ago, and came to Missouri with his parents in 1866, locating near Dresden; from there they went to Calhoun in 1876, where he united with the Christian Church. He went to Lamonte about 10 years ago. He has one brother and four sisters living: Mrs. T.P. McCune and Mrs. G.H Hardey, at Lamonte, Mrs. J.H Light and Mrs. H.J. Underwood, Chicago, and Frank Dawson, Denver, Colorado. Mrs. J.H Light was at his bedside for three months helping care for him. The funeral services were conducted the next day at 3 p.m., at the residence, by Rev. G.E. Shanklin; the remains interred in Lamont cemetery. End As a note, T. P. McCune should have been noted as P. P. McCune. I believe there was a T. P. McCluney in the same area at the time and the author of the obit may have confused the two.
