Fredric C. Dunn, son of Martin and Margaret Ann (Ayers) Dunn, was born at Dunellen, N. J., June 17, 1850, and passed from this life at his home 251 East Date Street, Riverside, Cal., June 8, 1922, aged 71 years, 11 months, and 19 days.
Mr. Dunn grew to manhood in his New Jersey home, after which he entered college at Milton, Wis., where he met Miss Flora H. Williams to whom he was married June 5, 1879. To this union there were born six children: Clarence, of Milton, Wis., Eleanor of Riverside, Cal., Mabel (Mrs. G. W. Rieby) of Maple, Wis., Charles, of Edelstein, Ill., who with his family has been with his father during his last sickness; and Margaret and Gladys, of Pasadena, Cal.
Soon after his marriage in 1879, with his young wife he took up residence in his boyhood home, remaining there about two years, when he returned to Milton, engaging in the mercantile business with Mr. Robert Williams, his father-in-law. This relationship continued until the business was taken over by himself and known as the F. C. Dunn Company which was finally changed to the firm of Dunn and Boss, and I feel safe in saying for employees and patrons, that when the O. K. of Dunn and Boss was on an article (to speak in common parlance) it was considered "all wool and a yard wide."
Beside teaching for some time, Mr. Dunn was for may years on the Board of Trustees, of Milton College, and several years was president of that board. This shows the regard in which he was held by the college people, as well as his interest in educational work. He was a loyal Seventh Day Baptist and the confidence of the church was shown by his position as a trustee, superintendent of the Sabbath school and a teacher for years. He and his loyal companion were faithful in the activities of the church, the school and community, until failing health compelled his retirement, when they, a little over a year ago (February 1921) came to Riverside. The very sudden and unexpected taking of his companion, less than a year ago, (July 1921) was doubtless a shock which has hastened the end.
Mr. Dunn has led a very active and I am sure I express the feelings of all when I add, a very useful life. After a more or less intimate acquaintance for over forty years, the writer of this article has the first time to hear an adverse criticism of the moral, social, spiritual or business life of F. C. Dunn.
The funeral service was held at the undertaking parlors, Sabbath afternoon, June 10, conducted by Pastor Ballenger, and because of his long acquaintance with the deceased the undersigned was asked to prepare this obituary and assist in the service.
As the Sabbath hours were closing and the sun was sinking in the west, Brother Dunn's weary body was laid to rest by the side of his faithful wife, in Riverside's Evergreen Cemetery, where Mt. Rubidoux may cast its shadow, like a benediction upon the departed. J. T. D.

Flora Williams Dunn was born in Darien, N. Y., January 18, 1853, and passed away, July 29, 1921, in Riverside, Cal.
In little girlhood she was brought by her parents to Milton, Wis., where she spent a large portion of her life. Early she joined the church and has always remained active and faithful in the work of God. She loved the house of the Lord and her faith has been deep and unshaken. Her education was received in the public schools and in Milton College, where she graduated [in 1872]. For a short time she was a teacher in the public schools; also a teacher of music and at the age of twenty-six married Fredric C. Dunn. To them were born seven children all of whom are living, excepting one child who died in infancy. Recently Mr. and Mrs. Dunn moved to Riverside, Cal., where they established a home among many friends and in a much loved land. She permeated this home with love, happiness and content and then passed away quietly and happily to pave the way for her loved ones.
A beautiful spirit lives among us, and will always live in the hearts of all who knew her. An earthly life has been well lived - a leading light and an inspiration. B.
