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.
