*Obituary
Benton County Democrat
Thursday, March 18, 1909
DUNAWAY, Samuel - Samuel Dunaway was born in Jackson county, Missouri September 1, 1840 and died at Aurora, Missouri March 12, 1909, aged 68 years, 6 months and 12 days. In Johnson county, Missouri he was married to Miss Julia E. Taggart, who survives to mourn his loss. Mr. Dunaway removed from Johnson county, Missouri to Henry county in 1868; thence to McDonald county in 1874 and the next year to Lawrence county; thence to Green county in 1880. He came to Benton county, Arkansas in 1894. Here the family came, hoping to find health and length of days, but death found his way into this home and took away the husband and father. The deceased is characterized as a good neighbor, an upright citizen and, in the words of another he had "lots of friends." The funeral services, all the family present, were held at the family residence in this city. The deceased died while on a visit to his son in Missouri. The remains were brought home and laid away in our beautiful cemetery to await the final resurrection. E.
