Notes
a. Note:   James A. Dunn, who owns and operates a farm of one hundred-and twenty acres in Spring Grove township, is engaged in general farming and stock raising. He is a native of that township, his birth having occurred upon his father's homestead, just a short distance from where he now lives, on the l6th of April, 1881. He is a son of James and Mary Dunn, natives of Iowa; and grandson of those pioneers, Alexander and Susan Dunn, who settled in Clinton county, this state, in 1837. The father came to Linn county in 1875 with his wife and since that time has resided here, having become one of the most prominent citizens and representative men of the community.
  James A. Dunn was reared to farm life and attended the district schools of Spring Grove township, where he received his education. He was married at the age of twenty four years and, until that event transpired, made his home with his parents, assisting his father with the work upon the large farm owned by the latter. On September 5, 1905, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Dunn and Miss Esther Moles, a daughter of John and Ella Moles, both of whom were native of Iowa. They have become the parents of one son, Gifford, who was born in 1906.
  Following their marriage Mr. Dunn purchased one hundred and twenty acres of land adjoining that occupied and owned by his father and has continued to live upon the place since that time. He has greatly improved its conditions, recently erecting an excellent barn thirty-three by forty feet, has built an addition to his house and installed a forty-foot steel tower wind-mill of latest design. While a republican in politics Mr. Dunn takes little interest; other than as a voter in the political affairs of the county. He is serving his township in the capacity of secretary of the school board but does not desire political preferment of any kind. With, his wife he holds membership in the Methodist church. He is a man whose enterprise has won him prosperity and he is rated as one of the sound and honest men of the community. [History of Linn County Iowa]
