DUNAWAY CEMETERY - FRISCO

Lebanon, west side of Preston Road

Cemeteries of Collin County, Texas, by Joy Gough

This is part of the old community of Lebanon. The house has a wind mill and a water tank in the front. There is a building on the east of the house that was once a store. Most of the graves are for the Dunaway family.

Foster Dunaway came to Texas around 1846 and settled in Dallas. He ran the first drug store in Dallas. He later moved to Lebanon and opened a drug store. The store eventually became a general store. It was the third store in Lebanon. Because of the difficulty of getting supplies during the Civil War, the store was closed. The Dunaways continued to live in the area. The cemetery was deeded at the time that the land was sold. There are provisions for an access road also. The access road has been plowed under. The deed is listed in Vol. 210, p 255. According to the deed, Preston Road was about ¼ mile east of its present location at Lebanon.

The cemetery is about 30 feet by 100 feet, surrounded by an old wire fence. It is in the middle of a plowed field. The cemetery is neglected. There are several small stones in the cemetery that just have a first name on them and no dates or last name. I believe that they are all for the Dunaway family since they are in line with the Dunaway stones. The stones Samuel Dunaway through George Dunaway below are all in a straight line on the west side of the cemetery.

The following people are buried in this cemetery.
