DUNN, Eunice (Lynn MA)

EUNICE DUNN

IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Eunice Dunn, LCHS '14"
PHOTO TAKEN: George W Ames Studio, Lynn MA, 1914
PURCHASED: 2019 Brandywine River Antiques, Chadds Ford PA


I think the  LCHS stands for Lynn Classical High School.

Eunice Madeline DUNN (b. 31 Aug 1895 to parents Henry Dunn & Elizabeth). Eunice would have been around 18-19 in this photo.

1920 Federal Census > MA > Essex > Lynn
DUNN, Henry P., head, 54, born in MA of Irish parents, retail merchant dry goods
DUNN, Elizabeth, wife, 52, born in Nova Scotia to Irish parents
DUNN, Henry F., son, 25, born in MA, salesman dept store

DUNN, Clarissa F., dau, 16, born in MA
DUNN, Albert J., son, 14, born in MA
DUNN, Edward J., son, 11, born in MA

Her father Henry P. Dunn died after a long illness, on Sep 17, 1931, and his obit in the Boston Globe on that date gives a good description of his important standing in the community of Lynn.

Mother Elizabeth died 4 Feb 1941. At that time, Eunice (around age 46) is still listed by her maiden name among the survivors.

Eunice was an organist at times at the Saint Patrick's church. She at least once (Dec 19, 1924) was featured in soprano solos on the 9:30pm Concert program on WNAC Radio.

I can find no evidence that Eunice married or had children.
