Obituary |
"DEATH OF MR. A.T.B. DUNN
"The world of amateur sport has
been thrown into general mourning by the announcement of the sudden death
of one of its brightest ornaments. Born at Whitby in 1860, Arthur Dunn was
only just over 40, and he was still a great personality in any team. So
keen was his interest in Oxford and Cambridge football that his death,
occurring as it has on the eve of the annual match between the
Universities. "Mr. Dunn went to Eton in 1874 and up to Cambridge in
1880. He obtained his blue in 1883 and 1884, He was a fine natural player
in any position—fast,
clever and a sure kick. Of late years Mr. Dunn had had a large preparatory
school at Ludgrove, near New Barnet. His sudden death threw quite a gloom
over the rival elevens at Queen's Club on Saturday. "Arthur Dunn had
many friends in Norfolk, and during the early eighties his services were
often placed at the disposal of Norfolk County. He has assisted both at
cricket and football, and in 1883 he helped Lynn to win the Norfolk Cup.
He gave Lakenham-goers an opportunity of witnessing his full-back play in
the same season that he captained England against Scotland, and a few
years afterwards Mr. Dunn brought to the Newmarket Road ground one of the
best amateur sides that has been seen for many years."
- Eastern Daily Press, Monday, 24 February 1902. |
Funeral |
"FUNERAL OF MR. A.T.B. DUNN At
Shelford: This Afternoon
"Amateur sport was strongly represented at the funeral of Mr. A.
T. B. Dunn, of Association football fame, which took place at Little
Shelford this afternoon. In addition to the family mourners, the bier was
followed by many amateur sports, famous in their own particular
departments — sports of present-day fame
such as G. O. Smith, the great centre forward, and W. J. Oakley, the
International back, and many others whose zenith in the sports arena is
past. Corinthians, Casuals, Old Carthusians, Old Etonians, and other
amateur organisations were represented, and several athletic bodies in
which the deceased was or had been associated sent tokens of their regret
in the shape of wreaths or crosses. The deceased was laid to rest in a
corner of the quiet Little Shelford churchyard, very close to the spot
where his father was interred about years ago. "The village choir
chanted a simple choral service while the giants of the amateur football
field bowed their heads in regretful remembrance of one who had been
associated with them so long. "The service was conducted by the rector
(Rev. E. T. S. Carr), assisted by the Rev. C. A. E. Pollock (Cambridge)
and the Rev W. W. Wyonard (Lowfield Heath, Surrey, brother-in-law of the
deceased). Two hymns were sung. 'Oh quickly come' in the church, and 'On
the Resurrection Morn' at the graveside." -
Cambridge Daily News, Tuesday, 25 February
1902.
"MEMORIAL SERVICE AT LUDGROVE
"With a desire to pay last respects to the memory of Mr A. T. B.
Dunn, a memorial service was arranged to be held at the same time the
funeral was taking place, at Trent Church, near Ludgrove School, New
Barnet, yesterday. Fortunately for the many friends who revered the
deceased in life, the weather turned out bright and sunny, and the church,
which is a spacious structure, was filled. Amongst some of those who are
identified with sport present to hear the last rites were: Mr. C
Wreford-Brown, Mr. W. Wreford-Brown, Col. Kenyon-Slaney, M.P., Mr. H.
Malcolmson, Mr. R. E. Foster, Mr. S. S. Taylor, Col. Barrington
Kennett...Mr H. Stanbrough, Rev. W. Hall, all the young athletes of
Ludgrove. "The service, which was choral, was taken by Rev. W. Warren,
the Vicar, who was ably assisted by the Rev. A. Winters, the curate of the
parish. The first named reverend gentleman made a strong impression on his
congregation when advising the boys of Ludgrove to follow in the footsteps
of their late principal, whom he characterised as a model of all that was
manly and good, and whose aim in life had been to do anything he undertook
with a will." - The Sportsman, Wednesday, 26 February 1902. |
