Notes

  1. The source document spelled the county name as "Noxuby", but some other sources indicate the official spelling is "Noxubee."
  2. Thoburn's History of Oklahoma asserted that Dunn also attended Illinois State Normal School (renamed as Illinois State University at Normal in 1965) and the Garden City (Kansas) Business College before enrolling in the University of Kansas. Thorburn did not give any details about Dunn's fields of studies, dates of attendance or whether he graduated at either of these schools. [3]
  3. Thereafter, the biography by Williams refers to him as Judge Dunn, apparently to distinguish him from his father. [1]
  4. Thoburn wrote that Dunn was the Woods County Attorney from 1896 to 1900. [4]
  5. Although Dunn had died on July 28, 1926, the partners decided that his name was so valued in the profession that they wished to keep it in their firm after his demise. The body of Williams' article incorrectly gave the death date as July 27, but the author corrected his own mistake in his note 10, saying that the Associated Press and the Dunn Family had confirmed that July 28 is correct.
