    1. [NJSUSSEX-L] Obit. of Oscar DUNN, part two
    2. >From Sussex Independent, Friday December 16, 1898: "' Here are points that will indicate his mode of procedure and some of the facts that possibly account for his success. He never had but two notes in a bank in his life; never had a law suit in his life; did everything about his farm well and attended strictly to farming as a business; made all the money he ever made in farming and investing his money in farms and land; brought his farms up to a good state of cultivation by thorough working, liming and fertilizing; making every little thing on the farm count; doing many little things on a farm that most people do not consider worth the doing. Mr. Dunn let all his farms on the sharing system, and never had any trouble to secure good tenants. Some of the tenants have been on his farms for 21 years. All his bargains are on verbal agreements. He never had a written contact of any kind with his tenants.' All that was said in the above sketch of our friend was true until the time of his death, except that he had purchased several farms during his last years. Mr. Dunn is survived by his wife, a most estimable woman and one son, Thomas Jefferson Dunn. The funeral was held on Monday morning, and was very largely attended. The funeral was in charge of the pastors of the Unionville and Deckertown Baptist churches. Interment in the family plot at Unionville."
