My Genealogy Hound

H. N. Dunn. Among the representative farmers of this county, none are more worthy of mention than Mr. Dunn, who was born in Shelby County, Tenn., in 1850. At the age of nine years he came to Arkansas with his parents, W. D. and Anna (Henry) Dunn, settling on the place on which their son now lives, where the mother still survives, the father having been killed in 1880, at the age of sixty-five years, by a runaway team attached to a mowing machine. He served in the commissary department during the war. H. N. Dunn, the subject of this sketch, is the eldest of eight children, four of whom are now living, and three in Memphis, Tenn. He has lived the greater part of his life in this State, though during the war he was a resident of Tennessee, at the close of which struggle he returned to Arkansas. Mr. Dunn has not yet joined the ranks of the benedicts, but devotes his time to the cultivation of his 200-acre farm, which is planted to cotton, and is one of the best places on the river. This is protected by a levee erected by himself. He is a progressive farmer and much interested in enterprises tending to the advancement of his adopted home.
