Michael J. Dunn was a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH), an Irish Catholic fraternal organization founded in the United States in the 1830s. As demonstrated by this portrait picture in the collection, Dunn was a member of the Milwaukee AOH by 1886.
Although the suit of the uniform did not survive the years in an unstable Milwaukee attic, the felt-based hat, belt with decorative buckle, cuffs, sword, and cloth gloves remain intact to this day.
