GRIM REAPER CLAIMS MANY

CLEM DUNN

When death takes from our midst one who has lived their allotted time and has 
finished their work in this world it is but the natural consequence of having 
been born into the world. Yet we grieve. But when life is snuffed out in the 
bloom of youth and without a moments warning, sadness comes to us from a just 
cause.

When it was leaned that Clem Dunn, a young man of 23 years, who was loved and 
respected by all who knew him, a robust young man full of cheer and happiness 
with every prospect for a bright future, had been killed, gloom and sadness 
was keenly felt by the people of this community. The accident occurred at 
Emmett Tuesday at 12:30 while the train crew on the Payette Valley branch were 
switching in the Emmett yards, Clem, who was brakeman had cut the train and 
evidently miscalculated in the distance between the cars, was caught between 
the bumpers crushing his body just above the hips which caused his death at 
1:15. He was taken to the hospital by Conductor Whalen and the other members 
of the crew. He remained conscious and full of courage, and seemingly suffered 
but little to the last. He is survived by a father and mother and three 
sisters. His father, E. G. Dunn, is operator of the Western Union office. The 
sister, Mrs. Numbers, wife of Dr. Numbers of Parma, and two younger sisters at 
home.

Funeral services will be held at Emmett at two o'clock today. the ? crew on 
the P. V. will be ? to attend the funeral. The sympathy of the entire 
community goes out to the bereaved family.
