Canton
Mathew Eugene Dunn, 87, died on October 26,2016, at St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson, MS. He was born on May 15, 1929, in Neshoba County, the son of Henry Temple Dunn and Lillie Fortenberry. He has been a resident of the Canton community since 1947, and is a member of Calvary Baptist Church.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, Evie Jewel Jones; son, Bennie Thomas Dunn; brothers, Odis, Marshall, William, Sam, and Laverne; sisters, Mary Novie, Emily Eugenia, Hettie Ruth Cutrer (John), Nettie May Higginbothom (Claud), Lucille Beckham (Hershel), Irma Jane Johnson (Raymond).
