The clipping shown below is from an unidentified music magazine of 1915, the year in which Edna Dunham, daughter of Samuel & Maria Sands Dunham, was married to Alfred R. Willard. The related clipping on page 2 is from PEABODY NOTES (fall 1961), published by Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory of Music. *A part of the fascination of old clippings lies in the peripheral material still attached to them. Your editor is much tempted to send a dime for the sheet music for "The Billy Sunday Glide.")

News Clipping

1978 was chuck jam full of ill health for Editor Phyllis Kitson. That is one reason why the DISPATCH has not been published since last May. (She's much better now.) However, the princiapl reason that the Dunham newsletter has not appeared is a lack of material. The Dunham Archives in Flint are well stocked with pictures & letters relating to the branch of the family descending from Samuel E. Dunham (1850-1915), but quite improverished as to materials on the other branches of the family. Editor Kitson has discovered that the most successful and interesting newsletters need to have a good 'mix' of items on several branches of the family. Old letters & old pictures are fascinating (at least to anyone who cares for that kind of thing), but they don't really have to be all that old (last week is history now, for that matter) to be interesting. So please do send in whatever you can share with your Dunham relatives for use in the DISPATCH. Continuation of the newsletter depends upon your contributions!
