The following article is a clipping from the South Hill Enterprise sent to me by cousin, Hilda Hood:
"Mrs. M. M. Dunn departed this life November 27, 1922, and was buried the following day at her home, witnessed by a large gathering of friends and relatives. Four ministers were present and all took part in the services - Revs. Poe, Kline, Bowden and Powell. She had been blessed with a long and useful life. She was born in 1838, and was twice married. Her first husband was Giles Bowers and from this union there were two children, William and Jennie. These preceded her to that long home. Her second husband was Charles Dunn, and from this union there were five children, whom she left behind, Richard, Rufus, Herbert, Harvey and Mrs. John Bing. She loved her children and bore the burden and heat of the day for their benefit. She was an exception. She knew how to produce and save. She was Semper Fidelis in whatsoever she set her hands to. The late R. M. Hutcheson said to me, referring to the deceased, 'Ned, I don't know a woman I think deserves as much as she.' She was a sister of the late William Curtis, who was so long clerk of Mecklenburg County. The deceased was a member of Bethany Baptist Church. J. E. Powell. January 15th, 1923."
