Obituary of Mary E. Dunway Colfax Tribune May 7, 1925

From research of Christine McCormick, Germantown, MD

Mary E. Dunaway, d/o Quiller and Elizabeth Dunaway, was born in Glasgow, Barren Co., KY on Jun 29, 1845 and passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chas Carr at Rockwell City, IA on May 2, aged 79y10m3d. Mary came with her parents to Iowa when 11 and settled near Monroe. On Oct 24, 1861 she was united in marriage to Samuel A. Gooden, moving to their own home near Colfax. To this union 7 children were born; 3 sons, 4 daughters; James Allen of Wenatchee, WA; Sanford of Maxwell, IA; Mrs. Faidley of Colfax; Mrs S P Meyers of Maxwell; Mrs C E Turner of Knierim, IA; Oscar of Pine River MN and Mrs Charles Carr of Rockwell City; all of whom were with their mother during her sickness except the son in Washington. The husband and father preceding her death 32 years ago. She leaves besides her children, 2 brothers and 3 sisters: Jesse C Dunaway of Lutton, IA; James of North Dakota; Mrs Harriet Simpson of Barney, IA; Mrs Martha Stine of Monroe; Mrs Charlotte Turner of Newtonia, MO and 28 grandchildren; 16 great grandchildren.

When a young woman she accepted Christ as her Savior and became a member of the Baptist Church to which she remained faithful until 2 years after the death of her husband when she moved to Rockwell City. There being no church of her choice she placed her membership in the Christian church of that city, remaining faithful until death, always attending church when possible until her health became so poor she was not permitted to attend as much as she wished. Being of a quiet, unassuming disposition she never cared for publicity in any way, and her interest was centered in her home and family where she was always a kind and loving mother, a good neighbor and friend to all whom she knew. No neighbor or friend ever called on her for help or sympathy but she was always ready and willing to do her bit.

Coming to this state in a covered wagon drawn by oxen when everything was new and strange, she knew what it was like to spin, weave and make all their clothing by hand, besides the many other tasks that fell to them in those days. In 1864, she and her oldest son, a baby watched the husband and father march away to join the struggle between the North and South, where one year later he contracted bright's disease, received an honerable discharge and was sent home to his family.
