Dorothy Cahill b. Oct. 16, 1900 married James M. Dunn b. Sept. 22, 1895 Hamilton, ON.  She died 1985 Toronto.  James. M. Dunn was a grandson of James Murison Dunn (below).

  James Murison Dunn b. Oct. 24, 1830 Dundee, Scotland.  Married Louisa Langell about 1862.  

J. Murison Dunn, B.A., L.L.B., principal of the Welland High School, is of Scottish nativity, having been born in Dundee in the year 1830. When an infant he was brought to this country by his parents, who were William and Janet (Murison) Dunn. He received his early education at the old Niagara District grammar school, and subsequently took a course at Toronto University, from which he graduated with the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws, having previously occupied the position of headmaster of a high school, for which he held a certificate of fitness. Mr. Dunn is the only gentleman who has ever taken the degrees of B.A. and L.L.B. at once. At the time of his graduation the two examinations were held simultaneously, and he accomplished the difficult feat of answering the examination papers set for both courses in the limited time prescribed for one. He occupied the position of principal of the Drummondville grammar school for a time, and afterwards held a similar position in Peterboro, where he remained for some years. Having a taste for journalism he severed his connection with the Peterboro high school and became one of the proprietors of the Peterboro Examiner, which paper he conducted for some time, simultaneously taking up the study of law. He subsequently was elected headmaster of the Guelph high school, from which he sent a large number of students to the university, most of whom took a good stand and now hold prominent positions. While in Guelph he acted as editorial writer upon the Daily Advertiser, which he and another gentleman bought out and of which he afterwards became sole proprietor. Having an opportunity to dispose of the Advertiser he did so, and accepted the professorship of belle lettres in an educational institution in Pittsburgh, Pa. After about a year he returned to Canada, and was offered the headmastership of the Elora high school, where he remained until he came to Welland, about twelve years ago, upon receiving his appointment as principal of the Welland high school. It has been under Mr. Dunn's management that this school has obtained so creditable a place among the high schools of Ontario. Mr. Dunn makes a specialty of the dead languages and English literature, and the high standing of his former pupils at the university examinations has won for him an enviable reputation as an instructor of young men contemplating a university career. He has found time to edit three classical text books, which have been authorized by the Minister of Education, and are extensively used in the high schools and collegiate institutes of Ontario. These works consist of very useful vocabularies and explanatory notes of the idiomatic and other difficult passages of the portions of the works of Virgil, Caesar and Cicero, prescribed to be read in the high schools. Our subject is a prominent member of the A.F.& A.M. and the R.A.M., having been for two years D.D.G.M. of Niagara District. Mrs. Dunn's maiden name was Miss Louisa Langell. They have a family of six sons.
Mr. Dunn's old pupils are to be found in most of the cities and leading town of Ontario. Many of them have distinguished themselves in their several professions, and from them their old teacher ever gets a hearty greeting when he meets them.
