      John R. Dunn, M. D., of Turnersville, Tenn., was born January 22, 1832, and is the younger of the two sons and eight daughters of John and Mary (Carter) Dunn.
      The father was of Irish descent born in 1803. He was a farmer and was married in 1824. In 1873 they broke up housekeeping and lived among their children. The father died in 1883. The mother was born in 1805 and is now living with our subject, who received his literary education in the country schools. When about twenty years of age he began studying medicine under Dr. J. M. Thurston, and at the end of eight months entered the medical department of the [p.1145] University of Nashville, graduating in 1855. He then located in Turnersville and has since practiced his profession in that place. December 4, 1856, he married Emma E. Menees, daughter of Benjamin W. and Elizabeth Menees. Mrs. Dunn was born November 31, 1836, and has borne one child: John W., born in 1858, who is now practicing medicine with his father.
