FatherSamuel Beattie Ryburn Dunn3,4 b. 21 Mar 1851, d. 6 Sep 1908
MotherMary Scott Jackson3,4 b. 25 Sep 1855, d. 13 May 1910
Birth16 Sep 1896 Lenora Beattie Dunn may have been born on 16 Sep 1896 although other records simply report her birth as "1897."2,5 
Death23 Oct 1896 Lenora may have died on 23 Oct 1896 although other records report her death as "1897."2,5 
  It is tempting to assume that the specific 1896 dates of birth and death are more accurate than the non-specific 1897 date. However, the source that listed the 1896 dates also listed an 1896 date of birth for Lenora's sister Florence; in fact it has the 2 girls born 1 day apart. The correct date of birth for either girl is not known at this time.

He kept a notebook in which he recorded the names and dates of Mary's children. Children born after Stephen's 1892 death were entered by another family member, possibly some years after their birth as all of the dates to not appear accurate.
