Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, October 7, 1908 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - In the death of Maurice L. Dunbar, which occurred at his home in Fernwood. Friday at noon, that community lost a very estimable citizen and our town has reason to deeply regret his death, for he was well known and highly esteemed here. He was stricken with paralysis about a week before he passed away. Mr. Dunbar was born in this village, July 4, 1841. He resided here up to the time when he enlisted in the 110th Regiment, serving in the Infantry department. He was with that regiment in the many struggles it encountered and at one time be was so near a canon when it was discharged he sustained an injury to his ear drum which always gave him trouble. After his return from the army he followed the occupation of blacksmith in this village and other places. For a number of years he resided in Fernwood where he dealt in wagons and harness. He was a member of the Methodist church, and also a member of J. B. Butter Post of this village. He was twice married and a widow survives him. The funeral was largely attended at the home, Sunday, at noon. Burial at Pulaski. Several of the G.A.R. men attended the funeral and when the procession reached this village several more joined it and went to the cemetery.
