Hawarden Independent (11 Jul 1907)

Mrs. Frank H Dunham died at her home fourteen miles southwest of Hawarden about five o’clock last Friday afternoon. About a year ago she was operated upon for cancer. She improved for a time thereafter, but the disease spread to the internal organs which brought on a complication of dropsy and the latter ailment was the immediate cause of her death. She was confined to her bed only a couple of weeks.

Her maiden name was Alice Miller and she was born in Coles County, ILL, Jan 13, 1862. When a child she came with her parents to Plymouth county and resided with them for several years on a homestead a couple miles south of Chatsworth. A few years later they moved onto a farm in Union county, five miles southwest of Hawarden, where she grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage to Frank H Dunham, March 27, 1884. Most of their married life was spent on a farm near Elk Point, moving to the present home southwest of Hawarden a couple years ago.

Her husband, three sons and a daughter are left to mourn the lost of a loving wife and a most kind , tender and devoted mother. Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday afternoon by Rev. J.R. Lindvloom of Big Spring, and the remains were laid to rest in Mt. Hope Cemetery southwest of Chatsworth
