• Notes

  From Familysearch: Sarah T. Sykes Dunn The Lawrence Democrat 5 Mar 1919 At her home on Waterloo Street. Mrs. Thomas Dunn, one of the best loved of Lawrenceburg's good women, died Tuesday at 2 o'clock after a long illness, at the age of 66 years, 9 months and 20 days. Funeral services will be held at the home today, by the venerable Rev. S. L. Fain, and the burial will be at the Dunn Cemetery. Pall bearers will be W. C. Parkes, J. H. Stribling, John Gibbs, Tom Gaither, D. E. Williams and J. W. Garrett. Mrs. Dunn, before her marriage, was Miss Sarah T. Sykes, a daughter of James and Elizabeth Sykes, her father having been an Englishman who came to Lawrence County in 1843, and engaged extensively in cotton manufacture. In 1873 she married the late Thomas Dunn, a native of Louisville, Kentucky. She is survived by the following children: James T. Dunn of the First National Bank, Mrs. Mamye Finney, Mrs. H. D. Derrick, and Mrs. Robin Harvey. Mrs. Dunn was a real gentlewoman, sunny hearted, and thoughtful, she gave her entire life in ministry to those she loved. Her interest and helpfulness included more than her family and kinfolk, however, taking in as well neighbors and friends, and everyone with whom she came in contact. Hers was a very fine life indeed, and many there be who will miss her, and mourn because of her death. Of her it may be truly said, "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."
