Souvenir Edition, The Williamstown Courier, Williamstown, Ky, May 30, 1901, reprinted September 19, 1981 by the Grant County KY Historical Society. JOHN DUNN is one of the solid fixtures of Williamstown. He has been here in our line of trade twenty-three years. He is popular, attentive to business and scrupulously honest in his dealings with men. He is an Irishman and was born in the Emerald Island. He emigrated to the United States with his people in 1854, and settled in Chillicothe, O. [sic], where his brother died, and where some of his kinspeople still live. He lived there for twenty years and learned his trade there and kept a marble shop. When he first came to Grant County he located for two years did business at Mount Zion, but in 1878 he moved his business to Williamstown and has been here from that day until now. He does most of the marble work and builds most of the monuments and tombstones that are erected in Grant county, and, in fact, builds a great many in other counties. The finest job yet erected in Grant county is the monument at the head of the grave of Lawrence Cavanaugh, recently erected, and all the handiwork of John Dunn. He is a director in the Grant County Building, Loan and Savings Association and a stockholder in the Grant County Deposit Bank. In politics he is a Republican. A clean-cut, honest business man, worthy of the patronage which so well fills his marble yards and keeps his hands employed.
