  Notes	Killed While Blasting Robert Dunsmore, Pioneer of The Dalles, Meets Tragic Death) Robert Dunsmore was killed by a premature blast near Mosier this forenoon. Mr. Dunsmore was working alone blasting on a county road four miles from the town of Mosier. His mangled body was found by his son, who was on the way to town about 10 o'clock. Apparently, death had occurred less than an hour previous. It was impossible to tell how the accident occurred, but the supposition is that the powder exploded while he was preparing to place it in a hole he had drilled. Mr. Dunsmore was about 50 years of age and was an old and highly respected citizen of the Mosier precinct. He leaves a wife and five children. Twelve years ago, his oldest son, William, was killed by falling from a tree. (Morning Oregonian, December 22, 1906)
