Death of Grand-pa Dunnaway. (Note: Dunaway was spelled incorrectly as Dunnaway all through this obit.) - Died - January 27, 1892, at the home of his son, John Dunnaway of Norris, his aged father, Isaac Dunnaway. He was born in Estel county, KY. August 11, 1800, and so was in his ninety-second year. He came to the Territory of Missouri in 1817, and saw Missouri admitted as a State in 1821, and has voted for every Democratic Governor who has occupied the chair. In 1825 he was married to Miss Rebecca Howard, and the happy pair trod life's uneven way for many years together, but his companion was removed from earth some eighteen years ago, since which time he has patiently awaited the welcome summons. Grandpa Dunnaway had been confined to his bed for many months during which time he was kindly cared for by his loving daughter, Mrs. John Dunnaway. He did not complain of his affliction but expressed a desire to bear his suffering as patiently as did Job. He had been a consistent member of the Baptist Church for forty years previous to his death and his religion was a great comfort to him while on the bed of affliction. His remains were interred in the Carrsville cemetery. Grandpa Dunnaway was the father of seven children, four of whom still survive - two daughters and two sons. All live Henry county and were present at his death save his son Jasper.

John Dunaway was a son of Isaac Dunaway and was born April 24, 1828, and raised in this vicinity. He was engaged in the stock business and few men in Johnson or Henry counties were better known. For many years he and Mr. Dunham, who died a few years ago in Warrensburg, were in the stock raising and feeding business. Since Mr. Dunham retired from the firm, he and his sons have continued it and he died leaving a large estate as a reward for his industry and good business ability. Mr. Dunaway was married in 1848 and seven children survive this union, three sons and four daughters. The sons are M. W., J. A., and L. M., all of whom live near his late home. The daughters are Mrs. Jane Howerton, Mrs. Mary Harnesa, of Kansas, Mrs. Syntha Anderson, of Kansas City and Mrs. Belle Butcher, of Colorado. Mrs. Dunaway died in 1872 and Mr. Dunaway was married in 1874 to Mrs. Louise Hackler, who survives him. In the death of Uncle John Dunaway this vicinity has lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens. The News joins the many friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved family. - Note: His tombstone inscription at Carrsville Cemetery lists his date of death as Sep 22 1908.

While the passing away of this dear daughter, sister and wife saddened our hearts, let us remember that "sorrow is not the master of joy." There is much to be thankful for. The splendid Christian character which she developed during her brief span of life was beautiful to behold. She measured up to all that was best in life. Through her life there was a current of love, of duty and sacrifice that made her a model Christian and friend in whom a large circle trusted. The very large crowd assembled to witness the last sad rites, the floral offerings, which covered her beautiful casket, evinced the high esteem in which she was held by the entire community. It is sad to part with those we so dearly in life, but it is sweet to know that God is always near to comfort and sustain us. Deceased leaves a devoted husband, father, mother, three sisters, two brothers, relatives and a host of friends to mourn their loss.

Henry Co, MO - Albert Dunlap died about 8:30 Friday evening at his home in Uneeda, in the south part of the county. He had been in failing health for more than three years. August 1922 his physician took him to Kansas City, where he underwent an operation, but they told him he would never be well again. He had internal cancer and other complications. Nobody knows the terrible suffering he had undergone in those long weary months. Love, nursing and skilled medical care could not alleviate the pain during those last weeks, his body had become so diseased. His family and neighbors were ever ready to do everything in their power. The day before he had expressed the wish that he believed he could eat some young rabbit. His son borrowed a shot gun to shoot the rabbit, which he left in the kitchen. Friday night, the young folks had gone to a near by pie supper and his wife had gone to bed. One son was sleeping in a tent near the house. He heard the report of a gun, hurried to the house to find his father had shot himself through the heart, only breathing few minutes thereafter. The pain had been more than he could bear. Mr. Dunlap was 53 years old last February. He married Miss Cora Dugan about 25 years ago. This beloved companion survives with their six children; Mrs Robert Ragland, who lives near the home place; Robert, James, Josephine, Bonnie and Evelyn. He also leaves the following brothers and sisters; J.F. Dunlap, Montrose; William Dunlap, Texas; Walter Dunlap, Kansas City; Elza Dunlap, Leavenworth, Kansas; Mrs. Alice Gensel, St. Joe; Mrs Lucy Delany, Canada. Mr. Dunlap was a great lover of home and family. His great concern during the last illness was the welfare of his loved ones. He wanted to leave them well provided for in every way. Many times he had expressed a desire that the end of his suffering would come and his great desire was that it come quickly. He had been the blacksmith at Uneeda for 17 years. He was always honest and industrious, held in the highest esteem by every neighbor. Each one feels that they have lost a personal friend, as he had extended every one kindness and courtesy in some way. He was always ready to help in time of need. Nothing was too hard for him to do whether it was for neighbor or his own loved ones. Not a citizen in the county will be more missed than he. He was a Democrat in politics and always stood by his party, willing to serve his country in any capacity that needed him. He was collector of Bear Creek township at the time of his death. Rev. Dillman, pastor of the Montrose Methodist church, conducted the funeral at his late home at Uneeda Sunday at 1 P.M. Burial in the Montrose cemetery.

He died at the age of 39 at the University of Kansas Medical Center on April 8, 2006, after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Rodney was a 1984 graduate of Sherwood High School and a 1988 graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia where he was a member of the Alpha Gamma Sigma fraternity. While attending MU, he met Brenda Kay Steinbach of Holden. They were married October 21, 1989, in Clinton at the Clinton Christian Church. Rodney and Brenda established a loving home in Oak Grove and started their life together engaging in their favorite activities of boating, fishing and camping. Soon they began their own family with their first son Trevor Andrew Dunn, born June 22, 1995. Their family continued to grow with their second son Jeremy Travis Dunn, born July 17, 1998. They completed their family with their third son Corey Jacob Dunn, born April 8, 2002. Rodney was a member of Hopewell Cumberland Presbyterian Church during his childhood and accepted Christ as his Savior at a young age. He presently was a member of Oak Grove Christian Church where he served as a deacon. His faith grew as he and his family participated in church activities and through fellowship with other members. Throughout his battle with cancer, his faith helped him cope with the outcome of his illness and drew their family closer together. Rodney was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Richard and Bessie Dunn, and his maternal grandfather, Cecil Simpson.

He was never slow with a smile or a quick joke and had a kind heart and a loving soul that was unmatched. Rodney shared his love of woodworking with his father and was a master at building creations from wood. He built most of the home his family lived in, taking pride in every piece of wood he put into place and filling the home with furniture he created. Another love he shared with his father and brother was building a family cabin in the woods. It hosted many weekends of deer hunting and family bonding. This retreat was one of Rodney's favorite places on earth, which allowed him to share his two passions with his boys: hunting and carpentry. Rodney was employed by Noel Designs, Inc., an architectural woodworking firm in Kansas City, for 17 years. He began his career in the woodshop and worked his way up to company vice president. In January 2006, he filled his lifelong dream of opening his own business, Dunn Woodworks. Rodney spent his last months living bravely and lovingly with his family, friends, coworkers and church members. He accepted the challenge God placed before him with dignity and strength. His character and strength of faith have left a positive impact on everyone who knew him and with his wife, he taught his children the way to live a devoted and meaningful life. Those who knew Rodney are blessed and privileged. He was a man of his word, a man who lived his family and God. He will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew him. Funeral services were held at the Clinton Christian Church in Clinton Wednesday, April 12. Interment was in Englewood Cemetery, Clinton.

Prominent Farmer and Livestock Raiser Dies - W. E. Dunn laid down his life's burdens at 4:45 Thursday morning, April 30. He had suffered much as the result of a stroke the last three weeks at his home about 1 1/2 miles east of Urich, and though the loving hands of his nearest ones administered tenderly to his wants, and medical skill was called upon, the suffering could not be alleviated and he entered the bourne of eternal rest. William E. Dunn, son of pioneer Henry county parents, was born May 26, 1867 in White Oak township, where his entire life was spent. His education was receive din the public schools of Henry county, and at the age of 22, he began to farm for himself. In 1897, he purchased a farm of 240 acres, which was his home many years, and as the years progressed, he added to his acres. He was recognized as one of the leading farmers and stock raisers of Henry county. His farm was kept in a high state of cultivation, and the stock which he fed usually composed one of the most extensive herds in this section. The Dunn home and farm have always indicated the thrift and progress of its owner - an attractive and well-kept place in every detail. Mr. Dunn and Ida Bell Walker, also a child of pioneer Henry countians, were united in marriage January 27, 1890, and they were given three children. Both Mr. and Mrs. Dunn joined the Baptist church and kept the faith of their belief in their daily living. For many years he was a member of the men's Bible class of the Hartwell Baptist church, and gave the support and influence of his presence at every church service, unless illness prevented. His part in the church services was usually a quiet one, but no one will quite fill his place as competently, sincerely and fully as Mr. Dunn did. He served many years as deacon of the church. His kindly nature, quiet humor and innate honesty made Mr. Dunn a favorite wherever he went. Children and young folks especially were his friends, for he knew the language of childhood and how to treat them as a good comrade. He believed in giving young people every opportunity of education, as his children were all sent to college, his son to the State Teachers College in Warrensburg and his daughters to Cottey College in Nevada. He was a director in the Bank of Urich, and one of the outstanding backers of better roads in this county. He served tirelessly and willingly on committees for the promotion of better roads, and many of the fine all weather roads in the county are directly due to his continuous efforts and work as he served on the County Highway Commission many years. In many ways, Mr. Dunn put service above gain for self in his daily living, and thus left a worthy reputation of industry, unselfishness and community betterment that others might well strive to emulate. Surviving Mr. Dunn is his beloved companion of over forty years and their three children: Edward Dunn, now a teacher in the Urich high school; Mrs. Allen Norris and Mrs. Newt Shipman, both of whom lived in the community where their father resided. There are also three grandchildren, Mrs. Allen Adair, Pryor, Ola.; Billie and Eugene Norris, Urich; a sister, Mrs. Mary Childers, Blairstown; stepmother, Mrs. Martha Dunn, Clinton; and the following half brothers and sisters: Mrs. Ida Jageman, Mrs. Tina Swart and Grady Dunn, Blairstown; Mrs. Stella Coe, Holden; and Mrs. Mable Barth, Urich. Two nephews, Claud Blevins of Natches, Washington, and Cecil Blevins of ElDorado, Ark., whom also mourn the passing of their foster father. Funeral services were held at the Hartwell Baptist church Saturday. Burial was at the Norris cemetery.

The days of his last illness extended into months, yet he bore it with patience and fortitude. All that loving hands could do was done, but the time of his promotion had come and his spirit passed to the Great Beyond at 11 o'clock on the night of June 5th, his age being 82 years, 4 months and 20 days.

She labored steadily for her Master wherever she lived and in whichever church was nearest and she leaves the unforgettable memory of a good wife and mother and a heritage of love that will live on in her family's hearts. The benediction of her presence will live long in the lives of all who knew and loved her. When it became known that her hours were numbered, her family gathered at her bedside and her oldest son, Lewis, who had been home on emergency furlough because of her illness, was discharged from Army service just in time to see her for the last time ere God called her Home. Thus came to the end of her journey toward that Eternal Home she had looked forward to-and fell asleep with her loved ones near, to awake to that glorious day where sorrow and suffering never enter. An immense concourse of friends and relatives gathered at the Vansant Funeral Home in Clinton Sunday afternoon for the last rites. The following nephews acted as pall bearers: Everett, Ray and Hubert Dunning, Clarence and Herschel Adams and Glen Chiles and they bore her body to its last resting place in the beautiful Brownington Cemetery beside the infant daughter, who had died soon after birth in 1906. As the many relatives and friends with aching hearts honored the memory of this wonderful woman whose very life was the epitome of Christian service, their sympathy was expressed for the husband left to round out his later life in loneliness and to the two sons at home and the married son from Kansas City, in their presence at the service, in the many acts of kindness offered, and in the beautiful flowers that filled the sanctuary. May God in His infinite mercy grant her loved ones the gift of His compassion that is able to make their sorrow bearable.

Pioneer Mother at Rest - Softly and gently as one who close her eyes for pleasant dreams, Mrs. Ella Martin Dunning went to her Maker at 7:45 Easter morning, April 21, at the home west of Deepwater where she had spent her girlhood, was married, gave birth to nine children and reared all but one to maturity. The last few years of her life, Mrs. Dunning's health had failed and last year she was in the hospital at Kansas City five weeks. The operation and treatments gave only temporary relief and this spring she returned to the Wesley Hospital where she remained a few days more than a month. Last Monday she was taken home that she might be released from earthly pain in the surroundings to which she had given her life's energy. She was happy to be home once more, and when she was sung in her bed she smiled contentedly. Ella M. Fudge was born near Charleston, Ill., July 22, 1864, the daughter of Martha Elizabeth Susan Wood and Adam T. Fudge. This pioneer couple and their family came west in a covered wagon when this daughter was two years old and built a frame house west of Deepwater where they bought land. A few years later they moved to another place near the first home. It was on this farm, now occupied by Earl Dunning, that Ella M. Fudge was reared to womanhood and was married October 10, 1880, to Albert Dunning, a native Kentuckian who had lived in Henry County most of his life. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Dunning lived on the farm where she was reared as her father had died when she was 11 years old. Mr. Dunning bought this place and became one of the largest land holders in Henry County, at one time owning 2,100 acres of rich farm land. The home was in the center of the large tract and is now known as the Dunning home place. Mr. Dunning died June 5, 1920, and Mrs. Dunning continued to live at the home place except when she left to be with her children. She was devoted to her family and each of her children returned her love and devotion measure for measure, always concerned about her comfort and happiness. She saw the value of education and gave her children every educational opportunity possible. Many years ago Mrs. Dunning was converted and gave her life into the Master's keeping, following in his footsteps, doing His will and treasuring His teachings. her membership was at the Pleasant Valley Baptist church and as long as she was at home and her health permitted, she was active in the affairs of the church. the children who survive Mrs. Dunning are Mrs. Con Strickland, three miles west of Pleasant Valley church; John Dunning, west of Deepwater; Albert Dunning, north of Deepwater; Shade Dunning, Oakley, Calif.; Miss Lillian Dunning, who has been in Seattle, Wash., but came home to be with her mother during her illness; Robert L. Dunning, north of Deepwater; Earl Dunning, who lives on the home place; and Archie Dunning, who is teaching at Stockton, Mo. One daughter, Angel, the next to the youngest child, died when she was 15 months old. Also surviving Mrs. Dunning is a sister, Mrs. Wood Richeson, of Deepwater; and two brothers, Thos. J. Fudge of Cedar County and Richard Fudge of St. Clair County. There are ten grandchildren. Funeral services were held Tuesday at the home. Burial was in the Pleasant Valley cemetery, just south of the home.

Clinton Eye, July 1951 - Mrs. Earl Dunning of Deepwater, whose serious illness and stay in St. Luke's Hospital terminated in death at 1:45 a. m., Thursday, July 12, 1951, was a devoted and worthy woman whose empty niche means a loss that will be felt by many friends as well as her beloved family. Ethel, the daughter of Harve and Mary Jane Leet Randolph, was born July 14, 1907, at Urich, coming to the end of life's journey just two days before her 44th birthday. She was the eldest of five children born to that union, and all formed a close-knit group, with companionship between all that was hearty and happy. Leaving Urich, the family moved to Deepwater where she spent the remainder of her life. As a girl of 18, she united with the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church and was an active member as long as health permitted, enjoying as much as any service her teaching of the boy's Sunday School Class. Nov. 15, 1927, she became the wife of Earl Dunning and to them four children were given, Albert Earl of Bolivar; Mrs. Franklin Chaney of Deepwater; and Harvey and Peggy of the home. Being a true wife and mother, her constant thought and prayer was for her family, with her kindness and thoughtfulness extending to many other people who were always welcome at her home, for she shared companionship with all who knew her. Surviving besides her husband and children above mentioned, are two grandchildren, Frankie and Jackie Chaney, who were ever present in her mind, even in the last days of her grievous illness.

She was an avid sports fan, particularly the Royals baseball team. One of the highlights of her life was meeting and having her picture taken with two members of the Royals baseball team. She was such an avid fan that it was no surprise to go visit grandma and find the TV and portable radio on in the bedroom and kitchen and a loud "hush" to anyone talking during important plays. She always had a smile on her face and a word of encouragement for everyone. She loved her neighbors at Kenton Place and always enjoyed their get togethers at each others apartments.

He united with the Baptist church at Deepwater in his youth and was a ready worker in all departments, having served that church as Sunday school superintendent. His wife was also an active worker in the Baptist church, having been organist and doing everything she could which was needed to be done. When they moved to Clinton they were useful members of the Baptist church. He also belonged to several lodges. Harry Dunning and wife both had bright, sunny dispositions that made them favorites wherever they were. They were always ready to do an act of kindness for a neighbor. Their little children were left without father to guide and direct their ways in right living and to provide for education and life in general. At the same time their dear mother can no longer bind up the little stubbed toes or kiss the bruised spot to make it well or to listen to their little troubles. The relatives or friends will give them a home and love them, but it can never be the same. There will be a void in the lives of these little ones, which never can be filled.

Clinton MO - At 1:10 Sunday afternoon the soul of Mrs. Robert L. Dunning, who had lain in the dark shadows of unconsciousness for more than two days, heard the distant music of the heavenly band and arose to take its place in the land where go those who love the Lord and serve Him. Left behind was the frail worn body which had borne without a complaint from her lips a pain so intense as to be almost past human endurance. Early this spring Mrs. Dunning was taken to the hospital for an operation, but though the surgeons were highly skilled in their profession they recognized her condition as being a very grave and even then had slight hopes of her recovery. She returned to her home north of Deepwater, but disease had laid its hand heavily upon her and more trips to the hospital were necessary. After the last visit, the doctors said they could do nothing further for her, so her husband brought her back to her sunny beautiful home, where she spent her last days, surrounded by the love and devotion of her husband and friends. Those last days were happy ones for her, despite the pain, for she was confident that she would soon be well and about her duties, so her husband hid his grief from her, eased her pain a little with his tenderness, and played the game that only he knew was a losing one. Lucy Thompson was born at Brownington, August 27, 1892, and lived in Henry county all her life, most of the time at Deepwater. She grew to charming young womanhood, eager to succeed in life, talented, and popular, beloved by young and old alike. She was educated at Deepwater grade and high schools, then attended the teachers college at Springfield. She taught Lone Vale school for a year, and the fifth grade in Deepwater three years. July 5, 1919, she and Robert L. Dunning were united in marriage at Osceola. They built an attractive bungalow, modern and comfortable, north of Deepwater on a slight eminence with a view of the surrounding country, and here Mrs. Dunning presided as the gracious hospitable mistress of her household, welcoming guests warmly, tending to the many duties of a farmer's wife with happiness, and caring for her husband with a wealth of love. Children came to bless their home, Florence Catherine, 9, and Robert Lee, 4. They are beautiful children, reflecting the love that their parents bore for each other, both children intelligent and quick. Their mother early taught them to worship the Father in their daily life and one or the other of the children spoke grace before meals. From the time she was so small she had to stand to reach the keyboard, Mrs. Dunning has played. She was a master musician on the piano, splendidly trained and liberally endowed with natural talent. She studied with local teachers, among them Mrs. Sandow and Mrs. Canard, known to older musicians and when she went to college she had an opportunity of further study. When she was 16 she had a class of music pupils, and from then until her health forced her to quit, with the exception of a few years after her marriage, she had a music class. Her methods were thorough and it was a joy to learn music from one who was so talented and loved her music so much. Always generous with her musical ability, she never refused, when she was able, to play at public or social gatherings. She was the inspiration to many to take up the study of music, and her pupils never forgot her excellent teaching. Many accomplished musicians of today owe all their ability to her, for her classes were always large. She started teaching her daughter the rudiments of music when Florence Catherine was very young, and already the child shows talent, foretelling that perhaps she has inherited the musical fingers that were her mother's. When Mrs. Dunning was a young girl, not yet in her teens, she joined the Baptist Church in Deepwater, where her membership remained all her life. She was sincere in her love for her Master, faithful in her attendance at services when she was able, and a commendable example of Christianity in her daily life. "Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody", found in Isaiah 50:3, might have been written of her home for Christianity made her life happy. Surviving Mrs. Dunning are her beloved husband and their two children; two sisters, Mrs. C. A. Coons, Weleetka, Okla., and Mrs. A. F. Handlen, Kansas City; a brother, Nicholas Thompson, Tulsa, Okla., and a stepmother, Mrs. G. W. Thompson, Deepwater, who was loved by Mrs. Dunning as a mother, as her own mother died when she was a little girl. Funeral Tuesday at the Baptist church in Deepwater. Burial was in the Albert Dunning cemetery.

Nancy Jane Dunning Passed Away - Peacefully at the dawn of a new day, March 13th, after an illness of one week. Nancy Jane Dunning was the eighth daughter of Henry and Nancy Ann Dunning, and is the last one of a family of ten children.

Deceased was 82 years, 2 months and 29 days old at the time of her death, and had spent her entire life at the home where she was born, and where her funeral services were conducted. This home was left to her by her father some 50 years ago and she had always loved it. She shared her home lovingtly with her brother, W. H. Dunning, deceased, and his wife and chidlren. Aunt Ning, as almost everyone called her, was afflicted from birth, having a small right hand and right foot, therefore it was a pleasure to have with her the only brother and his family. In her younger days she could sew, cook, and do whatever she wished. Her entire life was useful, in some way. Fifteen years ago she lost the sight of her eyees and had lived since almost in total darkness, yet she was always cheerful, seldom did she complain of her afflictions. She was converted and joined the Deepwater Baptist church in July, 1903, under the pastorate of Rev. H. S. Tornhill, and was a good Christian woman. Her immediate relatives left to mourn her departure are her sister-in-law, Lillie Dunning; her nieces and nephews, the children of her brother, W. H. Dunning, who passed away three years ago; W. F. Levy, Dodge City, Kans.; Bert Levy, W. R. Dunning, Loomis, Calif., and Hardaman Dunning, Deepwater. Her body was tenderly laid away in the old cemetery near her home, Tuesday afternoon.

Upon coming to Deepwater, she helped in the organization of the Presbyterian church, which was established in 1885 in the depot and was granted two lots in the new town for being the first church. She was the last of the charter members of this church, and her life was an example of the way a Christian should daily live. She was an entertaining conversationalist and both young and old delighted to visit her, for though she grew older she never lost any of the spirit and vivaciousness of her youth. She was interested in everything and listened attentively to every bit of news brought to her as she was unable to leave home often the last few years. She leaves one daughter, Mrs. Louie Ahrendt and four grandchildren, Louie Edward and Eloise Ahrendt of Deepwater, and Louise and Eugene Dunning of Kansas City. There are also four sisters and three brothers. One sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Bryant, of Sheldon, Mo., was present for the funeral.
