Laneville is an unincorporated community in south central Rusk County, Texas, United States. A Texas Historical Site here is the McCune Family Cemetery, founded in 1838 to lay to rest members of the Bohannon Wagon Train who were allowed to camp on their farmland and who succumbed to a deadly fever. The descendants of both families have been buried there to this day.
