"...and it was his reputation along this line (political Whigs) that gave Lewis C...the nickname 'Whig' and while everyone knows Whig, very few would know who you meant if you should speak of him as Lewis C. [vol II History of Dad County and her People, pg 9].
'Whig Dunaway remained at home, working at farming until the Civil War broke out, and during the war, up to 1865, when he enlisted in Company E, Fourteenth Missouri Voluntary Cavalry, but only served for seven months, although it wasn't his fault, for the war closed, and friend Whig had to go back to farming, which he did, opening up his operations on 180 acres of good prairie land east of Dadeville. This land was unimproved, and Whig went to work with a will, for it is safe to say that he had visions of a coming important event in his life, for he worked as never before or since. He broke up 40 acres of that raw land with steers, fenced it, built a small house, and, you bet, got married...[V. II History of Dade County And Her People p. 9]
'...Whig Dunaway made no mistake in his choice of a wife, for she was made of the same high-grade material as he, so they did not surprise anyone when they began to get to the front at once. They stuck to farming, and made a business of it, stayed at the same good old place for twenty-five years, prospered, and kept buying land until at one time they had 480 acres of as good soil as Dade County affords. In 1889 they decided to move to Dadeville, having sold some of their land and given some to their children. In 1901 they bought 36 acres practically in the town of Dadeville, and remodeled the residence which now is one of the very best in town. Besides the town property they also own 120 acres. Mr. and Mrs. Dunaway have raised a fine family...[V. II History of Dade County And Her People p. 9]
'Mr and Mrs. Dunaway are consistent members of the Church of Christ. Mr Dunaway is a staunch Republican, and can always be found ready to do his duty to his county and state. A broad-minded man, ever ready with his means to further any cause for the betterment of the county, a man of strict honor, he numbers his friendsby the hundreds, and you would have to look long, long time to find any person who would or could say aught but good of our friend and fellow-citizen, Lewis C. (Whig) Dunaway.' [ V. II History of Dade County And Her People p. [CI:233:?3:CI]10]
