William Burton Dunn lived (b. 1870 West Flamborough Twp., Dundas, ON - d. 1969 Windsor, ON), and his wife Annie (d. 1955) were likely introduced to the PB at [[Brantford Meeting Room, ON|Brantford Meeting Room]] in Rodney, ElginBrantford, [[Ontario|ON]] +, which is a TW exclusive meeting that dates back to the earliest days of the PB in Canada, a place Darby visited. Dunn started his banking career there, for a private entity. By 1901-, he had relocated to Rodney in Elgin County, where he managed the S.B. Morris & Co. bank, until 1903+, then when he relocated to the London area where he established a branch of the Union Bank of Canada (absorbed in 1925 by the Royal Bank of Canada) in Mt. Brydges, London, ON +1905+ before relocating . He remained there until moving again to Leamington by 1908in 1905 where he started another branch, and remained there as its manager until his retirement in 1936, and was moved to Windsor in fellowship with 1958 to the Tunbridge Wells exclusivesRiverdale Manor Apartments, and died at the Catherine Wilson Nursing Home, also in Windsor, in 1969. Dunn was the first (known) PB to reside in Rodney, Mt. Brydges, or Leamington and established a work in the Leamington area. By 1927latter, he was joined in fellowship with 1927 by Mrs. Charlotte Simpson, and Loise Simpson, and from 1944-1949, it was just Mrs. Bert Simpson. In 1951, Bert Simpson was in fellowship, along with Mrs. L. Sloan and Mrs. G.
