Miss Dunn commenced her work in the county treasurer's office in 1915 as a deputy under her father, M. E. Dunn, who was county treasurer at that time. In 1917 her father resign- j ed and she was named his successor j to fill the unexpired term. At me following election she was elected treasurer by the largest majority giv en any candidate on the ticket. Mr. Everhart served as county as sessor in 1917 and part of 1918, re signing that office to become cashier of the First National Bank at Molalla.
