John Dunn Jr. (21 January 1830 – 6 February 1892),[1] the son of John Dunn Sr. was brought into the flour milling partnership with his father in 1852, he resigned in 1862 to work as a Wesleyan missionary in Fiji but was forced by ophthalmia[2] to return in 1864. In January 1865 the Sydney Conference removed his right to the title "Reverend", giving health problems as the reason,[3] and against his wishes, and despite a popular petition, he was removed from the Clarendon circuit in 1865.[4] He was later a lay preacher on the Primitive Methodist circuit.
On the retirement of his father in May 1889[5] was appointed head of the company; sons Frederick Williams Dunn (1863–1946), Alfred Calvert Dunn (1867–1957) and Eustace Alexandria Andrew Dunn (1869–1928) managed the company after his death.
