Mrs. Phoebe C. Dunn.
Phoebe C. Fall, daughter of Benjamin and Sarah Fall was born in Morgan county, Ohio, March 15, 1832. She was married to Wm. Dunn in 1848, and they resided in the vicinity of her birthplace until 1855, when they came to Marion, Iowa, where they lived together until he was called to the better world April 28, 1898. Since his death she has spent her summers in Marion and her winters in San Diego, Cal., and other southern resorts.
She has been a faithful member of the Christian church since her girlhood. Her devotion to the cause of Christ and humanity is emphatically told by the several liberal bequests named in her last will and testament as follows:
Drake university, Des Moines, $1000.
Church extension of Christian church, $1,000.
Christian church, Hammond, La., $200.
Home for Aged Women, Cedar Rapids, $500
Home for Friendless, Cedar Rapids, $500
Home Missionary society, Christian church, $1,000.
Mrs. Dunn deeded to the Christian church in Marion her homestead of two lots, with fine brick residence on Tenth street and Fifth avenue. The property is valued at $3000. She had previously donated to the church $1,000 as a subscription to the fund for a new house of worship which was built a few years ago.
Her funeral services were conducted at the house by Elder J. A. Seaton, ex-pastor and J.G. Encell, present officiating pastor of the Christian church in Marion, last Friday, July 26, at 6:30, and by request, interment taking place at sunset.
