MR. D.S. DUNKIN IS CALLED AWAY AT HONORED AGE

Having passed his four score years and almost reached another milestone, Mr.
D.S. Dunkin passed peacefully away at his home in this city shortly after
noon on Thursday, August 4th, as a result of a stroke of paralysis suffered
nine days before. He retained consciousness to the day before the end, and
had the satisfaction of knowing that all the members of his family were with
him in his last days. He received the constant ministrations of physicians
and nurses as well as members of his family but he realized that his days
were numbered and he expressed himself as being not only ready, but anxious
to go.

The funeral services were conducted at the home at 3 o'clock Friday
afternoon, Rev. N.H. Abernethy in charge and was assisted by Rev. R.M.
Archibald. A large and representative gathering was present to show respect
to the memory of this worthy citizen and to attest their sympathy for those
called upon to mourn the loss of one so dearly loved. There were many
handsome floral offerings from individuals and organizations.

Mr. Dunkin spent his long life in this vicinity and had been a resident of
Roanoke about thirty years. While yet a youth he attached himself to the
Army of the Confederacy during the last year of the war, being assigned to
home duty but never claimed his connection in the ranks of the United
Confederate veterans, due to his modest disposition. Not only in the Army,
but in the dark days that followed the close of the war, Mr. Dunkin saw much
hard service and did a full part in laying the foundations upon which the
South has so soon risen to a position of prestige and prosperity in the
sisterhood of the states.

The deceased is survived by a family that is an honor to him and to whom he
was devoted, consisting of the wife and two chldren, Mr. W.S. Dunkin of Los
Angeles, California and Mrs. W.W. Stevenson of Roanoke. Two grandsons, Hugh
and Frank Stevenson are also left to mourn the loss the patriarch of the
family and to hold in reverent memory his many virtues.
