From Nevada Representative March 13, 1878

SUDDEN DEATH: Mrs. Dunning, relict of the late B. J. Dunning, and mother of Mrs. J. C. Mitchell, was found death in her bed on Sunday morning last. She was an old citizen of Story county, highly respected and loved by all who knew her, and on the day of her death was just 73 years old. Her death was probably the result of heart disease, as she evidently passed away without pain and without struggle. No signs of any character whatever, gave any warning that the moment of her dissolution was so near at hand, as she was as cheerful, hopeful and happy on Saturday, as at any time before for years. Thus has passed away, calmly and sweetly, another of the early settlers of Story county.
