June 18, 1892

Thomas Dunbar, of Tres Alamos, one of the best known and 
highly respected citizen of the territory died yesterday 
morning at the Orndorff in Tucson.  The cause was congestion 
of the brain and his severe illness was of but few days 
duration.

Early on the evening before his death it was apparent he 
could live but a few hours. His wife and brother, John O. 
Dunbar, of this city, together with other relatives and 
friends of the deceased were by the bedside when the 
separation took place at 1 am.

The deceased was 48 years of age and a native of Calais, Maine 
for the past twenty years had resided in this territory.  
Several appointments to public office were refused by him 
but he was twice elected a member of the legislature and was 
at the time of his death the representative of Cochise County.  
He was largely interested in stock raising and championed the 
cause of the cattlemen during his legislative career.

Mr. Dunbar was a kind father, a faithful friend and charitable 
to his enemies who were few in number.  He leaves a wife, 
amply provided for and five sons to mourn his loss.  He will 
be buried in Tombstone this evening.
