Mr. R. L. Dunman was bom in Lib-
erty county, Texas, February 7, 1843,
and was living in his 82nd year when
he passed peacefully away at his home
in Coleman on Monday, June 9, 1924,
at 1:3Q o’clock.
Hundreds of friends are grieved by
his passing. He had been a citizen of
Coleman for nearly a half century,
coming here first in 1878 and locating
here permanently with his family in
1879. The old Dunman homestead,
a two-story house erected in 1880, atill
stands one mile east of the county
court house. It was at that time one
of the most pretentious homes built in
the West. The first lumber for its
construction was hauled by ox teams
from fort Worth, later mule teams
being brought into service and six
months time was consumed in the
freighting of the lumber.
Mr. Dunman had an eventful career
and endured the hardships that go
with pioneering. He served through-
out the war between the States and
was twice severely wounded. Follow-
ing the, war he became a frontier cow-
man and handled cattle on a large
scale. In 1878, moving his herd of
5,000 Sputh Texas steers up the West
Chisholm trail to pasture in the Black
Hills of Wyoming and Montana, he
held the herd for a short time on tb*
virgin range a few miles east of the
frontier town of Coleman. It was
then he selected the site which one
year later became his permanent
home.
Mr. Dunman had just passed his
nineteenth birthday in February, 1862,
when he enlisted, in the Confederate
service at Houston, Texas. He wa*
assigned to service with Co. K. 8th
Texas Cavalry, better known as Ter-
ry’s Texas Rangers. One month la-
ter he and bis brother, A- M. (Dickl
Dunman, rode horseback from Hous-
ton to Tennessee to join their regiment
which was then east of the Mississippi
River. He wa* twice seriously wound-
ed. each time shot “clear through”;
the first wound was in August, 1864,
at East Point, Georgia, when he was
shot through the thigh and being laid
up six months. The second wound
was a skirmish at Barker’s Cross-
road, South Carolina, when he was
stuit through the shoulder.
There were , six Dunman Brothers
and a cousin, Joe Dunman. who was
reared in the Dunman family, in the
Confederate service. One brother,
Henry Dunman, was killed at the bat-
tle of Mansfield in April, 1864, as a
want

purchased the Vernon Sewell residence

and will move here with his wife a*
soon as he can get possession of t h e
property purchased. He left Satur-
