OBITUARY:
At her home in Salem, Or., Thursday, November 10, 1887, at 2:30 p.m., of paralysis of the heart, Mrs. Margaret M. Lunn, wife of J. H. Lunn.
Mrs. Lunn was taken ill several days since, of a fever, and that her condition was at all serious was known to few outside of her family physician and immediate relatives. Indeed, the first intimation that most of her large circle of friends and acquaintances had that she was at all ill was the mournful sight of crape fluttering from the closed doors of the store of Lunn & Brown. The news of her death was a painful surprise to the entire community. The immediate cause of her death was paralysis of the heart.
Mrs. J. H. Lunn was born in North Carolina on March 9, 1844, and was therefore 43 years 8 months and 1 day old. Her maiden name was Margaret M. Love. She married J. H. Lunn at Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 9, 1865. Mr. and Mrs. Lunn came to Oregon in 1878, settling in Albany; afterwards removing to Scio, and then returning to Colorado. They came back to Oregon in 1883, and settled in Salem, and have resided here ever since.
The deceased was a devoted and consistent Christian and was a member of the M. E. church. She enjoyed the greatest respect and confidence of her associates, old and young, and the membership of her church will suffer a serious loss by her untimely decease. At the time of her death she had hardly recovered from the shock occasioned by the death of her daughter, Mrs. J. F. Brown, which occurred last April. Her surviving husband and son-in-law, and little grandson, doubly bereft by the loss of her who was his second mother, are entitled and will receive the profound sympathies of many friends. The funeral will take place at the M.E. church next Sunday, and it is expected that the services will be conducted by Rev. M.C. Wire, of Eugene, her former pastor, assisted by Rev. Wm. Rollins. The remains will be interred in the Odd Fellows’ cemetery.
