Edward P. Dunham died this morning at his home on Lafayette street, at age of 
79 years and 9 months.  Deceased has had a checkered career, embracing such 
adventures as fall to lot of few men.  He served 13 years in the regular army, 
during which time he was in some of the important engagements of the Mexican 
war.  He enlisted in the First Pennsylvania Rifles, and was wounded in the 
hip, after being in service about a year.  He was three times married, his 
first wife and child being killed by Indians, in New Mexico, in 1849.  He had 
retired from the army and settled on a little farm.   One morning he was 
called to Albuquerque on business, and when he returned the next night he 
found his cabin in ashes, and wife e and child dead.  He summoned the 
neighbors and pursued the Indians, and succeeded in overtaking and killing 
many of them.
