WILLIAM OSBORNE DUNBAR

   William Osborne Dunbar, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Dunbar, was born at 
Creswell, Terrell County, N.C. on January 10, 1869.  He died suddenly in 
Suffolk on May 15, 1943.  In September, 1893, he was married to Miss Maggie 
Tena Smith, who preceded him in death on October 29, 1942.  In 1914 they moved 
from North Carolina, where they had made their home, to Sedley and had resided 
here since then except for a few years in Goldsboro, N.C.  In their last years 
they made their home with their daughter, Mrs. J. Maywood Johnson, and Mr. 
Johnson.

   Mrs. Dunbar is survived by four sons, Clyde M. Dunbar of Roanoke; Charlie 
E. Dunbar of Norfolk; Bruce Dunbar of Newark, N.J., and Robert Dunbar of New 
Bern, N.C.; two daughters, Mrs. J.M. Johnson of Sedley and Mrs. Hurley Lamb of 
Portsmouth; 11 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; one brother, W.H. 
Dunbar of Creswell, N.C. and one sister, Mrs. Maggie Ainsley of Columbia, 
N.C., and by several nieces and nephews.

   Mr. Dunbar was a member of Sedley Baptist Church, a faithful attendant and 
consistent supporter of its organizations.

   Services were held from his church Monday afternoon at three o’clock 
conducted by the Rev. W.B. Watson and the Rev. Percy D. White.  The hymns 
"Sometime We’ll Understand" and "In the Sweet Bye and Bye" were sung by choirs 
of the village churches.  The casket was covered with a pall of lilies and 
white gladioli, there being many lovely flowers.

   Pallbearers were: S.M. Beaton, S. Halsey, O.J. High, C.B. Owen, T.F. 
Hundley, J.C. Stephenson, R.L. Wellons and A.L. Rountree.  Friends of the 
family were honorary pallbearers.  Interment was made in Rosemont Cemetery.
