Released from Prison	4 July 1904	Lincoln, Lancaster, Nebraska, United States of America	Sentence commuted by Governor Mickey
Released from Prison	Note Newspaper articles of that time intimate that Governor Mickey was very free with pardons for prisoners and was heavily criticized for this. The partial article shown here is one section of a much larger piece describing various similar actions by the governor.
Residence	1906	Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, United States of America		1b
Residence	Note He is said to be a "Helper" at the Omaha Cooperage Company.			1b
Residence	1910	South Omaha Ward 6, Douglas, Nebraska		5c
Residence	Note Cyrus, a teamster,is a boarder with Eli and Malinda Jones who have been married for 16 yrs with 5 living children. There are 3 children listed under Cyrus, but I believe they belong to the Jones family based upon later census records. One of the children is a 7-year-old boy named Vivian. There are no census entries in other years for a male Vivian Dunn. There are later census records in Omaha, Nebraska, for a male Vivian Jones born in 1903 thereby matching the 1910 census record. Also, it is inexplicable how Cyrus Dunn could have fathered children while in the Nebraska State Penitentiary from 1894 to 1904. The 1929 Omaha City Directory lists Nettie Dunn (wid. Cyrus), so they were evidently not divorced, although she was not present with Cyrus in the 1910 census.			5c
Death	10 February 1915	Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, United States of America	Died of arsenic poisoning (suicide)
Death	Note The obituary states that his relatives in Hasting (Adams County, Nebraska) would take charge of his remains. Presumably he was buried in Adams County; I have not discovered a cemetery listing for him. His death in this way and in Omaha contradicts family lore which said that he had been shot (presumably killed) in Deane, Arkansas.
	Cause: Suicide - self-administered arsenic
Burial	13 February 1915	Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, United States of America	Graceland Park Cemetery, Lot GR 634, Grave 5. No marker.
