General Notes:
SETH ARNOLD DUNN (1918 - 1984)
Seth Arnold Dunn was born December 1, 1918 at Brigham City, Utah. He was the last of ten children born to Joseph Owen and Mary Ann Craner Dunn. He married Radah Matthews August 14, 1939 at Providence, Utah. They were the parents of three children: Lonnie Seth, Dennis Eugene, and David Brent.
Seth was always the teacher to his children. Whenever he spoke to his children it seemed there was a lesson to be learned. He was a tall man with black hair and a deep voice. He worked as a milk delivery man and had his oldest son work with him during his teenage years. Seth taught his children to do the best they could at whatever they attempted as they learned to provide for their family. They didn't know how to live another way of life.
Seth never had an enemy. Everybody was his friend and he always had time to help out. When he was called on by his friends to be Mayor of Weiser, he didn't really want to do it. He just wanted to retire and go fishing but the pressure was on and he didn't let them down. The hardest thing for Seth as Mayor was with every decision he had to make he found adversaries. This bothered him a lot because he liked everyone.
A great love for Seth was the Fiddle Festival which is held in Weiser every year. One year her was honored as the Fiddle Festival was dedicated to him. He was also named "Distinguished Citizen of Washington County" and honored by Idaho's largest newspaper as one of Idaho's distinguished people. Seth didn't seek notoriety but served because that was the way he lived. He always told his children to live by the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and he always did.
Seth died August 20, 1984 at Weiser, Idaho. He was buried August 25, 1984 also at Weiser, Idaho.
