From The Fayette Chronicle 27 March 1908, Vol. XLI, No. 26
Death - Dunbar B. Wade died on Tuesday night, 25th inst., one of Jefferson Co.'s best and most useful citizens, at his home near Lorman. He had been in ill health and the nature of his recent attack was acute indigestion. Mr. Wade passed his 66th birthday on the 18th inst., and died in the fullness of life. He enlisted in the Jefferson Artillery, Capt. Put Darden's Battery, and served bravely and faithfully throughout the war. He was a civil engineer by profession and served as county surveyor for a number of terms. Over 43 years ago, he was married to his cousin, Miss Martha Reeves Wade, daughter of Dr. Walter Wade. He is survived by his wife and eight sons and daughters. Interment was at "Prospect Hill" cemetery, the family burying grounds on Wednesday afternoon.
Dunbar is buried just outside the cemetery fence. He was a Confederate Veteran and has a Southern Cross of Honor on his gravestone. Dunbar wrote his Civil War experiences with Darden's Battery on Confederate bills on April 16th, 1902 and they were placed under the cornerstone of the new courthouse in Fayette. They were unearthed after the courthouse burned in the 1990's.
