Founder of D.W. Dunn Moving and Storage Co.
Daniel was the eldest of five siblings. When their mother, Eliza Doyle Dunn, died in 1886, Daniel was only 10 years old and his youngest sister, Elizabeth (my grandmother) was only 2 years old. Their father, William, died four years later in 1890. Daniel was only 14 and Elizabeth only six. It is unknown who took care of the Dunn brood between 1890 and 1900, but in the 1900 Federal Census for Boston, MA all the siblings were living together under the tutelage of eldest brother Daniel.
Daniel married Mary L Silva on 23 July 1901 in Boston. At the time, Daniel was a teamster. They were the parents of 3 children: Flora C., Lawrence Daniel, and Paul Dunn. Mary died in 1908 of pneumonia, and she was buried in Mount Calvary Cemetery in Roslindale, MA. Five years later, Daniel married Mary Florence Borges on 2 Feb 1913 in Boston. They were the parents of at least nine children: Mary Louise, Helen Dolores, Daniel W. (d.y), Robert Leonard (twin)., Ruth Marie (twin), Daniel Webster Jr., John Anthony, Clare Elaine, and William George Dunn.
There has been some discussion among family about whether Daniel's middle name was William or Webster. The source of his middle name being Webster is his WWI Draft Registration card. His name on that official document was Daniel Webster Dunn. Registration date: 12 Sep 1918. DOB: 10 April 1876.
