TO BE BURIED AT PEVELY.
Body of James L. Dunklin Taken to His Old Home.
James L. Dunklin, who for more than fifty years was a prominent figure in political and social circles of St. Louis and Southeast Missouri, died early Monday morning at the home of his daughter. Mrs. M. A. Tilden, of No. 4244 Cleveland avenue. The end came after a long illness.
James L. Dunklin was the only son of Daniel Dunklin, third Governor of Missouri. He was born in Potosi, Mo., and spent his boyhood there. He received his education at St. Louis University, and upon the expiration of his father's term, in 1836, he went to live on a large farm on the banks of the Mississippi, about twenty-six miles below St. Louis, where he remained for more than half a century. Four years ago, his health began to fail, and he came to St. Louis, where he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Tilden, up to the time of his death.
In the early days, Mr. Dunklin's residence near Pevely, Mo., was the resort of the wealthiest and most prominent people in St. Louis society, ranking second only to Kennett Castle as a scene of festivities. His widow and four children-two daughters and two sons-survive Mr. Dunklin. The remains have been taken to his old home at Pevely, Mo., where they will be interred this morning.
