  General Notes:

JOHN EDGAR DUNN (1908 - 1985)

John Edgar Dunn was born August 10, 1908 at Tooele, Utah. He was the eighth child and third son of Joseph Owen and Mary Ann Craner Dunn. He married Mary Marcell Stewart September 11, 1929 in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of three children: Mary Luana, Alan Edgar, and Kathryn Joy.
Edgar and Marcell spent their early years of marriage living on a farm in Corinne, Utah. Edgar loved Corinne and the farm and would have been happy to stay there if he could have made a living. However, the depression years were tough and circumstances made it impossible to remain. As the children were growing up, they moved around quite a bit but wherever they were living they had a nice comfortable home, kept clean and homey by Marcell. A favorite home was in Salt Lake City. It was a large home surrounded by beautiful grounds with a stream flowing through the yard and a fishpond which Edgar kept filled with large goldfish. Edgar was able to use his farming skills again in growing a large garden and raising chickens.
During their later years, Edgar and Marcell spent many happy times with their children; always being a great source of strength and always there to help out when they were needed. They taught their children the value and enjoyment of work. They always worked hard but enjoyed what they were doing.
Edgar died June 13, 1985 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was buried June 17, 1985 also in Salt Lake City.
