Emma A. Dunn was born in Matilda, Canada, Aug. 6, 1850. When about seven years of age she came to Wisconsin with her parents, who settled in Garden Valley on the farm which is now the home of H. L. Dunn. Here she passed the years of her girlhood, excepting a few which were spent with her sister in Black River Falls. When at about the age of twenty she made her public profession of religion and united with the Baptist Church, of which she has ever since been a member. On her twenty-third birthday, Aug. 6, 1873, she was married to W. H. Clark and settled in Humbird, which has ever since been her home. She was the mother of four children, two of whom died in infancy; those living are Mrs. Elmer L. Nygaard of Oshkosh, and Carroll Clark, instructor in the College of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn. She was the youngest of a family of twelve children, and is survived only by the eldest, Mrs. Jane Dillabo of Black River Falls.
