I came across this in my file cabinet this evening. It was given to me a number of years ago by a granddaughter of J.W. I don't have the source of the paper but it was published in Goldfield, Nevada, Friday September, 25, 1931 J.W. was the son of Issac and Mary Dillon Dunfee. J.W. Dunfee dies suddenly Monday Goldfield was shocked Monday evening when news quickly flashed about town that J.W. Dunfee had died while being brought to this city. To a few acquaintances he had complained recently of not feeling well, but no one thought that he was seriously ill and his sudden death created a profound impression with his scores of friends. Mr. Dunfee ate his breakfast Monday morning but said he was not feeling well and would go over to his house and lay down. A stranger, later in the morning, looking for work went to see him and found him unconscious on the floor. He revived him and helped him to bed and then summoned friends. The sick man seemed to be feeling better but later on passed to unconsciousness and Dr. J.C. Cherry was sent for. When the doctor arrived later the patient was still unconscious and he decided to remove him to Goldfield where he could have constant medical attention and nursing. Placed in the car with Oscar Oram driving and Dr. Cherry with the sick man the three reached Cuprite, about half way, where Dunfee passed away. The cause of death was given as apoplexy. Deceased was born in Lawrence county, Ohio near Ironton, November 22, 1875, and would have been 56 years old this coming November. He lived for a number of years in Missouri and went to Cripple Creek when a young man and at one time had charge of the water company at Altman, near Cripple Creek. He came to Goldfield in '06 or '07 and worked and leased in several mines here. About 1912 he went to Hornsilver where he met with a great deal of success and where he had mined every since. On August 11, 1923 he was married to Miss Irma Haskell, who had been teaching school in Goldfield, and the couple had completed a fine home at Beverly Hills. The Dunfees have a little girl, Nevada, to whom he was greatly devoted. Mrs. Dunfee and Nevada were met at Mohave by Mark Mitchell, who brought them to Goldfield, arriving Tuesday morning. At Hornsilver, associated with L.W. Dye, Dunfee had acquired a large group of mining claims for the Ohio Mines Corporation and had been constantly developing the same for a number of years. He had great faith in the future of Hornsilver and helped raise large sums of money which he spent to the advantage of his associates and at the time of his death was opening up and blocking out large ore reserves in the Western claims of the company, and was also preparing to start work on the Tokop of the same company, ten miles distant. His friends claim had he lived another year he would have had Hornsilver on a profitable productions basis. L.W. Dye, who is in Ohio, wired that it would be impossible for him to be here in time for the funeral, which will be held at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon from Elk's hall, of which order deceased was a member and interment, for the time being, will be in the Elk's plot in the local cemetery.
