Decatur County Journal
July l, l897

MINNIE VIOLET DUNHAM, only daughter of ROBERT and EMMA DUNHAM, was born
April ll, l894, and died of inflammation of stomach and bowels, June 22,
l897, aged 3 years, 2 months and ll days.

VIOLET was a sweet and loving child, the light and joy of the home and a
favorite with all who knew her.  Her death has cast a gloom over the
entire community.

Funeral services were held at the home, conducted by REV. J.O. WHITWORTH
from the l4th chapter of John. We then tenderly and gently laid her to
rest in the Dale Cemetery, there to await the sounding of that trumpet
which shall bid the sleeping saints arise.  We expect to meet VIOLET in
that morning.
