General Notes: Husband - James Dunbar


He was born and reared to manhood on his father's farm, and obtained a common-school education. After his marriage he purchased the farm, which he owned and cultivated at the time of his death. It was located about one mile and a half south of Bavington, in Smith township. He de­voted some attention to stock raising. In politics he was a strong adherent to the principles embod­ied in the Democratic party. He was a member of the Raccoon Presbyterian Church, giving liberally to its maintenance. After his death his widow re­sided on the farm, which was managed by her son, Thomas E.
