MAGGIE TENA DUNBAR

   Mrs. Maggie Tena Dunbar, the daughter of Jimmie T. and Margaret Wingfield 
Smith was born at Pantego, Beaufort County, North Carolina, September 17, 1874. 
She died at the home of her daughter in Portsmouth October 29. In September, 
1893, she was married to William Osborne Dunbar and they made their home in 
North Carolina until 1914, when they moved to Sedley, residing there since that 
time except for a few years in Goldsboro, N.C., more recently residing with 
their daughter, Mrs. J. Maywood Johnson, and Mr. Johnson.

   Mrs. Dunbar is survived by her husband and by four sons, Clyde M. Dunbar of 
Washington, Charlie E. Dunbar of Norfolk, Bruce Dunbar of Newark, N.J., and 
Robert Dunbar of New Bern, N.C.; two daughters, Mrs. J. Maywood Johnson of 
Sedley and Mrs. Hurley Lamb of Portsmouth; 11 grandchildren, two great-
grandchildren; two brothers, Cleveland Smith of Plymouth, N.C., and W.T. Smith 
of New Bern and by a number of nieces and nephews.

   Mrs. Dunbar was a faithful and loyal member of Grace Memorial Methodist 
Church, supporting all of its organizations and being a teacher in the Sunday 
school for many years.

   Funeral services were conducted at her church Sunday afternoon at three 
o’clock conducted by the Rev. R.I. Williams of Richmond, assisted by her pastor, 
the Rev. P.D. White.

   Mrs. R.C. Williams and Mrs. J.D. Saunders, Jr. sang “Abide With Me” and “Pass 
Me Not, O Gentle Savior” was sung by a choir composed of the three village 
church choirs. The funeral was largely attended and there was a profusion of 
lovely flowers, the casket being covered with a pall of white chrysanthemums.

   Pallbearers were W.F. Lewis, S.C. Turner, T.F. Hundley, C.B. Owen, R.L. 
Wellons and N. Stephenson. Friends of the family were honorary pallbearers.
