ROBERT DUNGAN is the fifth of six children born to William and Elizabeth (Dawson) Dungan, both natives of West
Virginia and of English descent. His parents came to Indiana in an early day, locating in Fayette County, where
Robert was born December 15, 1834. He remained with his parents until he was twenty one years of age, working on
the farm and attending the district schools. He began working at the plasterer's trade when he was fifteen years
of age, and his first work was to plaster the Fayette County Court House. He came to Howard County in 1860 and
located in the village of Tampico. Here he opened a general store, and in connection with this bought grain and
wood. In the spring of 1871, he came to Kokomo and is at present working at his trade. Mr. Dungan was married in
the spring of 1851, to Maria J. Halsey (deceased), a native of Ohio. Two children crowned this union, Laura and
Alice, both deceased. He was married, April 13, 1857, to Sarah A. Halsey, a sister of his first wife. They have
had four children - Martha C. (deceased), born July 12, 1858; Sornitia B. (deceased), born October 28, 1860; Robert
E., born December 31, 1861, and one infant (deceased). He and his son Robert E. are both engaged working at the
plasterer's trade, and are contracting very extensively. His son is also an expert at his profession. Mr. Dungan
cast his first vote for the Democratic party, but is now one of the most active workers in the Republican ranks.
