My GEDCOM information that I inherited has that Joe was born in Silado, CO (see note in Memorial History Notes below). He died as an infant in Tennessee. The exact year is still unsure but was either 1895 or 1896.

George Swinbourne "Pa" Cunningham was married to Florence "Fanny" Foster Cunningham [c. 1874 - c. 1897] on June 15, 1892 in Gibson County, TN. [I started a memorial for her; but I have not been successful at finding her burial site yet or that of Carl's. If anyone has a clue, please share it.]

George and Fanny had three boys: Carl, Joe and Earl. Carl was the oldest and was born somewhere in Colorado. Joe was born in Silado, CO but died in Tennessee. Joe had probably already died before my grandfather Earl Rush Cunningham was even born; and according to my mother, Fanny lived for only a few days after that. Fanny's death and Earl's birth both occurred in Gibson County, TN. After her death my great grandfather George could not handle the grief and decided to move back to Colorado without the children. So my grandfather Earl was raised by two old maid aunts, Mary Jane and Emma. Mom couldn't remember for sure where Carl was raised or by whom, but it was also probably with these same two aunts.

BIRTH TOWN
I'm unable to find a Silado, CO. This instead is probably Salida in Chaffee County. I'm leaving it as just Colorado for now until I can get more info.
