The Marietta Journal  March 17, 1892
Mr Joe DUNN, of this county, was thrown from a young mule on the afternoon of
the 9th inst., and was killed.  He had let a colored man have the mule to break
for him, and he went after him that afternoon to carry him home.  He conclued to
ride the young mule home.  He was warned not to do so, as the mule was almost
unmanageable.  He got on the mule saying he could ride him.  Almost as soon as
he touched the mule's back, the mule began to pitch and rear, and Mr DUNN was
thrown over the mule's head, falling to the ground very hard on his head and
breaking his neck.  He gasped a few times and was dead.  He was well known to
most of our citizens.  He was an honest, industrious man and prospered in a
small way.  He was an old Confederate soldier and fought bravely through the
Virginia campaign during the war.  He was a member of the Methodist church and
had the respect of all who knew him.  Peace to his ashes.
