CAPT. JOSEPH J. DUNN
His Funeral from St. Mary's church This Morning Largely Attended
Was One of the Best Known and Ablest Steamboat Inspectors and Universally Loved.
The remains of the late Capt. Joseph J. Dunn, the well known steamboat inspector, arrived on last right's train from St. Louis, accompanied by his widow and two children. The body was taken to the home of Mrs. Dunn's father, Mr. Charles Henry, west Second street, and although the train did not arrive until 10 o'clock last night and coupled together with the inclement weather, there were present at the house of sorrow many friends to offer sympathy and condolence to the bereaved ones. A wagon-load of flowers-mute emblems of sympathy-from friends in various cities, accompanied the remains to Madison and besides these many were sent from sorrowing friends in this city, thus evidencing the high esteem and worth in which the decedent was held and the universal love and respect with which his friends regarded him. Some of the floral offerings were the handsomest ever seen in Madison.
The funeral took place from St. Mary's Church at 9 o'clock this morning and many were present to pay the last sad tribute of respect to the memory of Capt. Dunn. Rev. Joseph T. Bauer, celebrated a Requiem HIgh Mass for the respose of the soul of the decedent, followed with the church burial service. Father Bauer delivered a fine sermon on the life, work, worth and character of the departed, after which Mr. Wm. H. Horuff sweetly and softly sang "Face to Face."
Besides relatives from a distance at the funeral there were present the following:
Capt. George H. Uhlen, of Washington, D.C., supervising inspector general.
Capt. Daniel J. Dougherty, supervising inspector at Pittsburg.
Capt. E. L. Dorsey, supervising inspector at Louisville.
Local inspector, J.E. Abraham, of Louisville.
Local inspector, W. J. McDonald, of St. Louis
The remains were taken to St. Joseph's Cemetery, north Walnut street, and placed in the vault for burial later.
The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers upon the arrival of the train last evening and at the funeral this morning:
Messrs:--
Charles N. Horuff,
William H. Peters,
Henry A. Anger,
Thomas J. Clark,
Joseph F. Niesse,
John B. Niesse, Jr.
Capt. Dunn was 48 years old and a native of Louisville, where he was reared and educated. Early in life he began his career as an engineer on Ohio river steamers, which he followed for ten or twelve years.
He was appointed by former President Cleveland to the position of local inspector for the Louisville district and in August, 1906, was promoted to supervising inspector and transferred to the St. Louis district, succeeding the late R. J. Whitledge.
Mr. Dunn was one of the most widely known rivermen in the country and was considered an expert in his line.
============
The death of Capt. Joseph J. Dunn, supervising inspector of steamboats at St. Louis yesterday caused widespread grief among his many friends in this city and Jeffersonville, and especially among those for many years associated with him while he was connected with the local district. Capt. Dunn was a native of Louisville, and was for more than a quarter of a century identified with steamboats on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, being appointed by former President Cleveland as steamboat inspector for the Louisville district.
It was following the disaster to the Gen. Slocum in the New York harbor several years ago when more than 1,000 people lost their lives, that Capt. Dunn first attracted the attention of the country. He was a member of the local board sent to New York to inspect the boilers of all the boats in the New York harbor, and he was praised for his work by the members of all the boards sent to take part in the inspection from different sections of the country, as well as high Government officials under whose direct supervision the inspection was made.
No less a personage than Theodore Roosevelt, then President of the United States, took much interest in the work of Capt. Dunn, and on August 1, 1906, he was selected by the Department of Commerce and Labor, at the suggestion of President Roosevelt, to become supervising inspector of the St. Louis district. His work in that district was also highly praised by the Government officials, he being regarded as one of the most expert men in his line of work in the country.--Louisville Times
