A. L. Dunn Among the enterprising and energetic farmer of Greenville township is the subject of this review, who on coming to Darke county in 1866, purchased his present farm east of the city of Greenville. A native of Maryland, he was born in Washington county, that state, in 1839, and in 1851, came to Xenia, Greene county, Ohio, with his parents, S.R. and Letta (Horner) Dunn, also natives of Maryland. Later they came to Darke county, where the mother died in 1880. The father is still living and continues to make his home in this county. In their family were six children, namely: A.L., Mrs. Joan Seburn, Mrs. Aletta Wright, John, deceased; Samuel H. and Mrs. Katie Wise. For eighteen years A.L. Dunn has now resided upon his present farm of eighty acres in Greenville township, and he has made many improvements upon the place. He devotes his time and attention to general farming and stock raising, and is meeting with well deserved success in his labors. He married miss Sarah Tingley, of Yellow Springs, Ohio, and to them were born twelve children, but only seven are now living, namely: Charles, Mrs. Etta Hinkle, Mrs. Katie Puterbaugh, Mrs. Lodena Bowman, Gertie, Della and Harry. Those deceased were: Luther, Thomas, Ella, Bertie and Walter. Mrs. Dunn is a church member, and is a most estimable lady. By his ballot our subject supports the men and measures of the Democratic party, and he has been called upon to fill some of the township offices.
