  Notes	1928 'Personal GOLDEN WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. William Dunn Porongcrups Congratulations of Albany and district residents were yesterday freely extended Mr. and Mrs. William Dunn, of Woodburn, Porongorups Ranges, on the attainment of their golden wedding. Mr. Dunn is the eldest son of the late Mr. James Richard Dunn, who came to this State over eighty years ago from Kent, England, and was one of the early pioneers of the neighborhood. This gentleman was a member of the Civil Service for a considerable time, and in the course of his bush experience turned his hand to almost every kind of work that confronted the new settler, finally taking up "Woodburn" in 1860, upon his retirement from the Government service. His son William, who celebrated yesterday's happy event, was born at Albany on December 18, 1846, and received his education at local schools. He joined his father at the Porongorups in 1863, and from that time until his retirement a few years ago devoted his energies to the de velopment of his picturesque property. The original block owned by Mr. Dunn was only 40 acres, but his son added extensively to the property, and now the homestead stands in the centre of nearly 1000 acres. His sons and daughters are actively interested in its working. For many I years ago Mr Dunn closely associated himself with local government, and served both as a member of the Albany and Plantagent Roads Boards. He married in 1878 Alice, daughter of the late Mr. Charles Keyser, who came from America in 1836, and settled in Busselton, where Mrs Dunn was born. The family consists of five sons and four daughters. [1]
