The Louisville papers of Tuesday last, annouce the
death of Hon. George G. Dunn, of Bedford, Lawrence
county, Indiana. The Democrat says: - "The sad event
occurred at his residence on Friday night last. He has
labored for eighteen months under the affection of the
spleen, and his death was not unexpected. Mr. Dunn
was one of the most remarkable men in Indiana, and occupied
a first position in the legal profession. He had
filled many high official trusts, and represented his
district in the last Congress. Although a member of
the American party, he was never intense as a politician.
His style of oratory was elegant and winning in the
extreme." |
