In 1884, the L & N Railroad completed a line south of Lawrenceburg and Mr. Dunn donated a supply of cross ties. The depot, when it was built, became known as Dunn Station in honor of him and was a major shipping point for products such as livestock, farm produce and wood products. Some manufacturing companies used it as well. Thomas was the husband of Sarah T. Sykes. They were married 27 Nov 1873 in Lawrence Co., Tennessee.
