Princeton, Minnesota
MRS. MARY DUNKEN
Mrs. Mary Dunken departed this life at the home of her daughter , Mrs. Chas. Ross, in this
village, Tuesday, at the advanced age of 85 years, six months and 17 days. Mrs. Dunken
had been feeble for some time, and had been confined to her bed more than a year. Every
care that a loving daughter and grandchildren could bestow was given her. Old age was the
cause of her death.
The final services will be held at the Ross residence tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock.
Deceased, whose maiden name was Mary Dawson, was born at LaFayette, Indiana, October 22,
1830. She was united in marriage to Mr. Henry Collins on May 6, 1847, and 13 children
blessed the union, two of whom are living-Mrs. Chas. Ross, and J.D. Collins, of
Sextonville, Wis. Mr. Collins answered the ultimate summons on February 1, 1875, and 17
years later his widow became the wife of Daniel Dunken, who departed this life in the year
of 1895. The year following his death of her second husband, came to Princeton, and has
since made her home here with her daughter.
Mrs. Dunken possessed those qualities that win friendship and esteem, and they will long
linger in the memory of those who formed her acquaintance.
