He was wounded at Gaines Mill, but declined to drop out, and fought in some of the most famous engage- ments in the Civil war with his arm|* in a sling. Not until Lee had sur- rendered did he lay down his arms and accept a discharge. He was mus- tered out as a sergeant of Co. H, Sixth’ United States infantry. Soon after the close of the war he was married. To this union, in New York state, were born two children—Casius O. and Ruth F. Dunn, now residing in Dubois, Idaho, and.both of whom were visitors here during the last sum- mer. To Bismarck. After the death of his first wife, Mr. Dunn came west. He graduated fol- lowing the war from the Indiana state pharmaceutical college, connected with the University at Bloomington, and a drug store which he opened at Brain- erd, Minn., in 1871, was the’first estab- lished in the northwest, west of the Mississippi. In August, 1872, when Edwinton, soon to become Bismardk, awvas less than two months old, Mr. Dunn came to the Missouri river out- post and here established the first drug store located west of the Red river. May 13, 1873, he returned to Minne- apolis to wed Miss Christina S. Stiles. His bride, one of the first to come to Bismarck, accompanied him back to, his frontier town, where a white woman's face, in that day, was a rar- ity. The first Dunn home was located on four ‘lots, where the Auditorium now stands. Years before Bismarck had even given promise of becoming the city which it is today, John Piatt Dunn predicted that some day a beau- tiful theater would stand on the site his home occupied. That prophesy was realized several years ago, when! the municipal auditorium was built. Member of Early Boards. John Piatt Dunn was a member of the first board of county commission- ers. To his foresight Burleigh county is indebted for the splendid location * of its court house. When the town- ship in which Bismarck is located were in litigation, Mr. Dunn fenced off the square where the court house now stands and held it in trust until the legal difficulties had been adjust- ed, when he turned it over to. the county. . He did the same thing with the site of the present Will school. He was chairman of North Dakota's first state prison board in 1889, and helped to build the first prison. * He was a member of marck’s first school board, upon which he served for twelve years, and the county of Dunn, one of the largest in| the state, was named for him. Hel built Bismarck's first pioneer jail of jogs where the bad men of the early days were housed, for their own safe ty as much as that of the community, and from 1884 until 1886 he served as mayor. being the Capital City’s chief executive at the time the territorial capitol was dedicated.
