Herbert J. Dunsmore, 88, widower of Vera (Hurd) Dunsmore, father of Roger & 
David, brother of George Dunsmore, Ruth Brooks & Alice Warden.  He graduated 
from University of Michigan as a civil engineer and became one of the first 
environmental engineers when the term was invented.  He worked for Pittsburgh 
Health Department, then U.S. Steel, and is credited with cleaning up "The Smoky 
City".  He also cleaned up the steel industries of Yugoslavia and Venezuela, 
whose dictators would not listen to their own engineers, but they listened to 
Herb!  In retirement he came back to his birthplace and spearheaded the 
restoration of Ionia's stores & homes and got them on the National Historic 
Register.  Longtime activist in Ionia County Historical Society and Sebewa 
Center Association, he collected antique carpentry tools and photographed old 
barns.  He was brother-in-law to Sebewa Center's last teacher, Ariel Morris.
