HISTORIES before 1923

1916 "Buffalo County, Nebraska, and its people : a record of settlement, organization, progress and achievement" by Samuel Clay Bassett; pub. Chicago: S.J. Clarke Pub. Co., 1916 (HeritageQuest image 3/2007, Local History Reel/Fiche Numbers 12248 and 12403; FHL film 1,000,185 items 1 and 2)
      Vol.2, pg.193-194: H.J. DUNKIN, who is filling the office of postmaster at Gibbon, was born at Rossie [MAD: St. Lawrence Co.], New York, on the 29th of July, 1855, and is a son of John and Ann Eva Dunkin, both natives of England. They emigrated to America in 1852 and settled in the state of New York, where the father passed away in 1855. Subsequently the mother removed with her family to Vermont and in 1871 came to Buffalo county, Nebraska, and took up her residence upon a farm. She died in 1901 in Gibbon.
      H.J. Dunkin was one of a family of seven children born to his parents, of whom four are living. He remained at home with his mother until he attained his majority ... In 1879, when about 24 years of age, he became a traveling salesman and after devoting twelve years to that work was for 8 years engaged in the grocery business at Gibbon. He then sold out and traveled for 17 more years but in 1915 was appointed postmaster of Gibbon, which office he is now acceptably filling. ... In 1880 Mr. Dunkin was married to Miss Robbie Masters, who was born in Illinois, of the marriage of Benjamin F. and Lovina (Empie) Masters, the former of whom was born in PA and the latter in OH. They were early settles of Illinois but subsequently removed to Custer Co. NE where the father passed away. The mother is still living and resides at Lincoln.
      Mr. and Mrs. Dunkin have four children, namely: Walter, a resident of Kansas City, Missouri; Gladys, the wife of C.C. Hall, of Portland, Oregon; Eva, deceased; and Harry B., who is a graduate of the local high school and is now assistant postmaster.
      Mr. Dunkin ... democratic party, member Granite Lodge No.189 A.F. & A.M., and his wife is a member of Methodist Episcopal Church.
