NAME DUNN 345 DUQUET marry her; the coin tossed to decide the matter had a head on each side, so when the doctor cried "heads" he won, and the wife fell to the lot of the brother, Dunlop's remarkable will, full of coarse humor, is recorded in the Surrogate Court of the County of Huron, and is given entire in Canniff's work. The only notice discoverable of his interest in religion was at a meeting held at York, Canada, in the cause of the Church of Scotland, where Dunlop moved to "take immediate steps for the erecting of a place of worship . . . and for the calling of a clergyman of that Church to officiate therein as their minister." He died June 29, 184S, at Cote, St. Paul. Howard A. Kelly. The Medical Profession in Upper Canada, 1783- 1850. William Canniff, Toronto, 1894. Diet, of Nat. Biog., vol. vii. Biog. of John Gait. Dunn, Thomas Dewitt (1854-1898). Of Scotch ancestry, his great-grandfather, Philip Dunn, having come over from Scotland and settled in New Jersey, Thomas Dunn was born in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, on January 30, 1854, the oldest son of the Rev. Thomas H. and Diantha Dunn. He began to study medicine with Dr. Jacob Price, West Chester, and graduated from the medical side of the University of Pennsylvania, 1881, with a gold medal for anatomical work, and began practice the following year in West Chester. It was largely owing to his exertions that the Chester County Hospital was built, and the work entailed in gaining interest and funds any doctor will appreciate. The long-titled Thomas D. Dunn Bacteriological Laboratory inadequately expresses the equally long hours of affectionate thought given towards its es- tablishment by the founder. In his capacity of head physician to the Chester County Hospital and Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia he ren- dered good public service, and when he died from the result of a carriage accident May 6, 1898, he left a record of fifteen years' good work. His wife, Kate C. Dunn, whom he mar- ried in 1883, with one daughter, Rachel, sur- vived him. Among some fourteen articles, a list of which is given in the "Transactions of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia," vol. xx, 1898, is one on "Two Cases of Glossy Skin," 1888, and "A Case of Leukemia with Rare Lymphoid Growths of Orbit and Parotid Gland" 1894.
