Obituary

Carl Dunahoo, son of Floyd and Susie Dunahoo, was born on a farm in Story county on November 14, 1900. He was the third child to bless their home.

Carl had been in failing health for some time and was taken to the hospital nearly three weeks ago, suffering from a kidney ailment.

Carl's passing was the first of a family of 13 children and he was preceded in death by his mother and twin sons.

He leaves to mourn his passing three daughters, one son, one grandson, his father, eight brothers, four sisters, a number of nieces and nephews and a host of neighbors and friends.

The children are Mrs. Evelyn Clemons, Susie, Linda and Glen Dunahoo, all of Des Moines.

Carl was a loving father, son and brother and will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
