The 1888 City Directory of Minneapolis also shows the firm of Willis & Dunham giving the address as 323 Nicolet Ave. I found Marshall L. Dunham listed with the firm of Willis & Dunham Millinery in the Minneapolis City Directories from 1880 through 1891. Marshall L. Dunham’s home address is always given as New York. In the Minneapolis City Directory for 1890-91 there is a full color half page ad which gives Willis & Dunham, wholesale and Retail Millinery, and gives two locations: 581 Broadway, New York and 323 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis. The Minneapolis City Directories also indicate that the firm employed a number of young women as milliners.

Marshall L. Dunham appears on the 1920 Census of Manhattan, Dist. 9, New York City at age 79, widowed, retired, and as a lodger in the home of Mary Reilly.

Note: There was another Marshall Dunham (b. about 1839) living in Chatfield, Fillmore Co., MN whose place of birth was listed as NY. See the DGRA Newsletter: Vol. 10, issue 1, January 2013 p.5-6 for info on that Marshall.
