**********************************************************************

John A. Dunlap, a farmer and resident of Crawford County for the past 
thirty-five years, is a son of Andrew and Martha (Long) Dunlap, both
natives of Cape Girardeau County, MO., where they were married; they
were among the early settlers of Crawford County, where they spent the
greater part of their lives, and both were of the Cumberland Presbyter-
ian faith.  Mrs. Dunlap died in 1853, leaving seven children, and Mr.
Dunlap afterward married Mrs. Elizabeth Benton, who became the mother
of three daughters; he died April 9, 1876.  John A. was born in Craw-
ford County in 1854, and his advantages for an education were of the
very poorest.  He remained with his father until twenty-one years of
age, when he worked as a farm hand until he was able to purchase a 
farm of his own, which occupation he has always followed; he now owns
about 150 acres of land, and is an enterprising tiller of the soil.
In 1881 he married Mary A., daughter of Irenus and Lucinda J. Whitten-
burg.  She was born in this county in 1864, and died April 5, 1884,
leaving one son, Carl I., born Nobember 16, 1883.  In 1885 Mr. Dunlap
married Maud Whittenburg, a sister of his first wife, also born in 
Crawford County, in 1868.  Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap have one child, Esther
O., born December 31, 1885.  The parents are members of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church.  Politically, Mr. Dunlap is a Democrat.
