WILL CUNNINGHAM IS DEAD
Passed Away Yesterday at Home of His Daughter, Mrs. Reed Sharp

Will Cunningham died at 12:45 yesterday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Reed Sharp, in Edina, where he had lived since the death of his wife in 1937. He was 70 years old, a native of Knox County. He had not been well for some years but was seriously ill only about a week, death resulting from heart and kidney trouble.

Funeral services will probably be at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, awaiting word from distant brothers and a sister, at the Baptist Church in Greensburg, conducted by the Rev. N S. Dunham of Hannibal. Burial will be in the church cemetery beside the grave of his wife.

Besides Georgia, Mrs. Sharp, the daughter at whose home death came, Mr. Cunningham is survived by another daughter, Jeanette, Mrs. Milton Casteel, of Kansas City, who with Mr. Casteel is here. Four brothers and a sister survive also: N. S. Cunningham of Akron, Ohio; Arthur Cunningham of Fabius, Howard Cunningham of Ft. Madison, Ia.; Lyman Cunningham, who is in California; and Mr.s. N. T. Killen of Kuma, Idaho.

Mr. Cunningham was born July 12, 1873, near Fabius, in which vicinity his entire life was spent until he came to Edina. He was one of the eight children of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Cunningham. Two brothers, Elmer and Robert Cunningham, preceded him in death. He was married to Miss Edna Myers of Greensburg Jan 18, 1898 and to them were born the two daughters, who survive.
