Dunaway Cemetery

Location: in Salem twp.abt 150 ft east of CR 96 and .3 mile nothe of CR 42. 
all stones in a pile top of a knoll by a creek.

From me (Kristina Kuhn): March 31, 2001: My hubby and I went to find this cemetery.
Floyd Dunaway had requested photos of the stones. It was a "Kris and Ken adventure"
for sure! after walking up and down the creek bank and "knolls" repeatedly, we 
finally we had to just ask a neighbor. It was a good thing we did! His name was 
Doug Weaver. He was great helping us out. Took us right to the spot. Nearly all 
the stones were partially covered but one. Ken found a metal fence post lying near 
and he used that to jab into the ground listening for a "clink" indicating a 
possible tombstone. We pried up all we found and pulled them out. I rubbed them 
off with sticks and dead grass getting them readable to photograph. It was quite 
exciting to find yet another one each time and while cleaning them off to slowly 
be able to read what was there. I felt like an archeologist!! Even Mr. Weaver got 
involved going to his house to bring back a screwdriver for "probing". The down 
side of the story is of course the "horror" of this cemetery neglect. Mr. Weaver 
told of them being bulldozed to their present location to make room for the road 
years ago. What a sad state they are in as if part of a rubble pile! Who knows 
where the actual graves are.
