DUNAWAY OBITUARIES, Henry County, Missouri
====================================================================

DUNAWAY, Isaac 1800 - 1892

Death of Grand-pa Dunnaway. (Note: Dunaway was spelled incorrectly as 
Dunnaway all through this obit.) - Died - January 27, 1892, at the home of his 
son, Jno. Dunnaway of Norris, his aged father, Isaac Dunnaway. He was born in 
Estel county, KY. August 11, 1800, and so was in his ninety-second year. He came 
to the Territory of Missouri in 1817, and saw Missouri admitted as a State in 
1821, and has voted for every Democratic Governor who has occupied the chair. In 
1825 he was married to Miss Rebecca Howard, and the happy pair trod life's 
uneven way for many years together, but his companion was removed from earth 
some eighteen years ago, since which time he has patiently awaited the welcome 
summons. Grand-pa Dunnaway had been confined to his bed for many months 
during which time he was kindly cared for by his loving daughter, Mrs. John 
Dunnaway. He did not complain of his affliction but expressed a desire to bear his 
suffering as patiently as did Job. He had been a consistent member of the Baptist 
Church for forty years previous to his death and his religion was a great comfort 
to him while on the bed of affliction. His remains were interred in the Carrsville 
cemetery and at his request the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Brown 
of Providence Church, in whom he reposed great confidence. Grand-pa Dunnaway 
was the father of seven children, four of whom still survive--two daughters and 
two sons. All live Henry county and were present at his death save his son Jasper.


DUNAWAY, John 1828 - 1908

John Dunaway was a son of Isaac Dunaway and was born April 24, 1828, and 
raised in this vicinity. He was engaged in the stock business and few men in 
Johnson or Henry counties were better known. For many years he and Mr. Dunham, 
who died a few years ago in Warrensburg, were in the stock raising and feeding 
business. Since Mr. Dunham retired from the firm, he and his sons have continued 
it and he died leaving a large estate as a reward for his industry and good 
business ability. Mr. Dunaway was married in 1848 and seven children survive 
this union, three sons and four daughters. The sons are M. W., J. A., and L. M., all of 
whom live near his late home. The daughters are Mrs. Jane Howerton, Mrs. Mary 
Harnesa, of Kansas, Mrs. Syntha Anderson, of Kansas City and Mrs. Belle Butcher, 
of Colorado. Mrs. Dunaway died in 1872 and Mr. Dunaway was married in 1874 to 
Mrs. Louise Hackler, who survives him. In the death of Uncle John Dunaway this 
vicinity has lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens. The News joins 
the many friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved family. - Note: His 
tombstone inscription at Carrsville Cemetery lists his date of death as Sep 22 
1908.
