/// Memflriain — IVa/tt'r A710US Dun. 



57 



November, 1882. After another and more extended visit to the 

 continent and a tour through Eng'and and Scotland, he returned to 

 New York, March 26, 1883, and after a visit to his home at PKun. 

 wood, he returned to Cincinnati and located at 63 E. 4th St. 



Soon after, he accepted the position of demonstrater of histology 

 at the Miami Medical College, and in June took charge of Dr. 

 Taylor's Clinic for the diseases of children, for the summer. 



Doctor Dun v.as intimately identified with the Children's Hos- 

 pital of the Protestant Episcopal Church on Mt. Aubiu-n. He was 

 elected to the staff of visiting physicians, in December, 1883, and 

 continued in connection with the institution until his death. 



He was an earnest worker for the welfare of the hospital, and 

 this zeal combined with his rare ability and strong character, made 

 him an invaluable associate of the officers and i)hysicians, while 

 his kind, happy disposition, combined with his fondness for chil- 

 dren made him a favorite among them; and nowhere was this 

 more touchingly shown, than when he passed through the wards of 

 the hospital, and his cheerful words to the little sufferers, were re- 

 ceived with a bright smile of welcome, and a look of tender affec- 

 tion. The hospital was a project for the success of which he worked 

 with his usual zea', and perhaps here more than anywhere else in 

 his public life may we look for the tender, unwritten history of 

 that sympathetic soul. At the laying of the corner-stone he said, 

 with enthusiastic fervor, to Mrs, McGuffey : "I could give three 

 cheers," and it is one of the saddest features of his death that, be- 

 fore that building was conipleted, he had passed awav. One of 

 the highest tributes to his memory was that paid by Dr. Wm. 

 Carson, his preceptor and intimate friend, at the dedication of the 

 hospital, November 23, 1887. 



On April 8, 1886, Dr. Dun was appointed a member of the 

 Board of Police Examiners, in which capacity he served with great 

 efficiency, until attacked with his last illness. While in this posi- 

 tion he prepared a valuable paper on the " Police Standard of 

 Cincinnati," which was published in the " Lancet and Clinic," 

 Vol. 18, page 131. 



Of all the institutions with which the Doctor was identified, no 

 one has felt his loss more keenly than the Cincinnati Society of 

 Natural History. 



An ardent lover of Natrue, he gave himself to its study with 

 enthusiasm. Soon after coming to the city he became a member 

 of the Society, and one of its warmest friends and supporters.
