William Dunbar

The many Palacios friends extend to Mrs. Howard Stapp and family their sincere sympathy in the loss of her father Wm. Dunbar who died March 12, in Matagorda, aged 95 years. Mr. Dunbar was the last Confederate soldier in Matagorda County, and the flag under which he fought for his country was buried with him, we were told by Mr. Duffy, of Matagorda, who was here Wednesday on business. The deceased was born in Camden, Maine, and has lived in Matagorda County since 1877. He was laid to rest in the Matagorda Cemetery Thursday afternoon and his remains were placed in a casket made by his son-in-law under his personal supervision.

Besides Mrs. Stapp, he is survived by two sons, Frank, of Galveston; R. B. of Matagorda and daughters, Mrs. C. L. O’Brien, of Galveston; Mrs. J. E. Wheeler, Koontz; Mrs. Wilfred Gordan, Wharton and Mrs. Ernest Calhoun, Pharr; twenty-two grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren.

Mr. William Dunbar, a pioneer citizen of Matagorda county, who passed away at his home two miles east of Matagorda, March 12, 1936, was born in Camden, Maine, May 20, 1841. When eleven years old he came to Texas with his parents and older brother and sister on a steamboat. Here he grew to manhood and was a volunteer in the Civil War. He enlisted in Company D, 6th Texas Infantry, Grandbury’s Brigade, Cleburne’s Division, Hardie’s Corps The Army of Tenn. Afterward he followed the sea for years and different trades for his living. At one time he was a merchant, blacksmith, ship builder, contractor, etc., and was thorough in all of them. June 14, 1870, he married Miss Harriet Sterling, who preceded him to the grave several years ago. Of this union there were eight children, all surviving except the oldest, William Adam Dunbar, who died some thirty years ago. The other sons and daughters are Frank Dunbar and Mrs. Ollie O’Brien of Galveston, Mrs. May Stappe of Palacios, Mrs. John Wheeler of Kountz, Mrs. Inez Calhoun of Pharr, Mrs. Wilford Gordon of Wharton, Mrs. Rhoda Dietrich and Boyd Dunbar of Matagorda. Also there are 22 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. Mr. Dunbar led a very active life always until of recent months and the morning of his passing he read the newspaper.

He was nearing his ninety-fifth milestone and fully realized the time was drawing near for him to go, and he admonished his children where and how he wished to be buried, and they carried out his instructions as best they could. His body now lies in its last long sleep by the side of his wife in the Matagorda cemetery. Besides his children, there is a brother, Mr. John Dunbar, and a sister, Mrs. Lucretia Sterry.
