When a child she moved with her parents to New York, where she lived at the time of her marriage to Mr. Vine DUNNING, in 1829. Sine 1853 whe has lived on the farm in Allamakee county. Her death came not unexpectedly. For several months prior to her decease , friends and relatives, kind and affectionate, watch by her bedside, seeking in every way possible to relieve her of her intense suffering. Her affliction was the result of a fall breaking the hip bone. The funeral services and burial were in every way according to her request. The sermon was preached at her request from Jno. 3:36. Her remains were interred in the Hardin cemetery and the long funeral train attested fully the high regard in which she was held. She will be missed from the community, but no one will as fully realize the loss as her daughter, who has in her later years been her almost constant companion. she died at the age of 81 yrs., 7 mos., and 15 days.
