Z. D. Dunaway operated a sawmill about seven miles east of Timpson in the years before 1910. In 1905, he mortgaged his engine, boiler, and sawmill against his entire cut at the sawmill. In 1907, mortgaged to Dilley & Son the following: one Ames 10-inch by 12-inch steam engine, one Ames 44-inch by 14-foot tubular boiler, a right-hand Curtis Dixie ‘E' sawmill, a rope feed, an 18 foot carriage, seven 8-inch trucks, forty-eight feet of car track, two 38-inch Dixie No 2 head blocks, one Dixie set works, two duplex sawmill dogs, and two Curtis 54-inch circular rip saws.
This mill have evolved into the Dunaway & Risinger mill.
