  OBIT: In Austin, Minnesota, Nov. 20th, at the residence of her brother, Ormanzo Allen, Esq., Mrs. Emily Dunn, wife of Edwin S. Dunn, Esq., of Freeborn, Minnesota, aged 31 years. The Mower County, (Austin, Minn.,) Mirror, of the 25th Nov., says: It is with pain that we are called upon to chronicle the sudden death, on the night of the 20th inst., of Mrs. Emily Dunn, wife of Edwin S. Dunn, Esq., the enterprizing proprietor of the town of Freeborn, Freeborn County, and sister of our esteemed fellow townsmen, Ormanzo and Orlenzer Allen, Esqs. Mrs. Dunn had been sometime complaining, and had reached Austin from Freeborn, Accompanied by her husband, en route for the home of her parents in Wisconsin, hoping by means of this trip to regain health and strength once more. But the hand of death was upon her, and as chronicled above, she expired on Sunday morning last. Her remains were conveyed on Monday to the home of her husband in Freeborn, there to receive the last rites of burial. Mrs. Dunn was and estimable lady, an exemplary wife and mother, and the centre of an admiring circle of friends. There are many persons outside of the immediate connection of the deceased who held her in high esteem for her virtues, and who will mourn her untimely decease. [Obituary provided by: James E.
