Frank Cunningham, Pioneer resident dies of paralysis (7-10-1917)
Frank Cunningham, for 47 years without interruption, an emplyee of the Appeal -- for many years, day foreman -- died at 3:50 Sunday morning following a stroke of paralysis at day break Friday.
The funeral service will be held at Kelly Brothers Chapel at 10 o'clock this morning. And all those friends who have been Cunningham's since he first came to Marysville, a child in arms -- will follow him to his grave, those that are left -- and there are not many.
The Cunningham left Cincinnatti where Frank was born, and started west in 1856. At that time Frank was only 2 years old. The family went to New York and took passage on a boat that landed them at the entrance of Ferdinland De Lessups "Dream Canal" across the Isthmus of Panama. From there they crossed the Isthmus on the little narrow gauge railway that was used by the French engineers to carry supplies to his work depots.
On the Pacific side of the Isthmus they boarded another boat. And on this ship they came up the Pacific coast, entered the Sacramento River, came up the Feather River and into the Yuba, and landed in Marysville at the end of D Street.
At that time the business section of the city was around First Street. And to get off the boat they had to climb up a thirty foot embankment to the Shore.
As Frank reached school age, he went to school at the present site of the Methodist Church. But the family had moved over to Sutter. The father operated a ferry. And the boys had to walk ten or twelve miles to school each day.
After the school days were over Frank Cunningham learned the printing trade on the Appeal. On March 12, 1870 he married Elfreda McLaughlin, twin sister of Edward Cunningham's -- his brother's wife.
For nearly half a century he has worked tirelessly in the composing room of the Appeal. For 40 years he worked nights.
He used to read the proofs and attend to the makeup, but lately he had served as foreman.
He is survived by a daughter and two sons, Mrs. Conley of Petaluma, E. O. Cunningham, a teacher in the Glenn County Schools, and Frank Cunningham of Yuba City, a linotype operator on the Sutter County Independant. His widow also survives him as do two sisters and two brothers -- Miss Nellie Cunningham of Marysvile, Mrs. Rhoda McDonald of Marysville, William Cunningham of San Leandro, and Edwar Cunningham of Marysville.
Besides the widow and sons, deceased is survived by his mother, Mrs. Isabelle M....? of Pleasant Grove, four sisters, Mrs. William Goode of Carson, Nevada, Mrs. Geo. Rodgers of Pleasant Grove Mrs. R. S. Algoe? of Sacramento, and Mrs. Effie ? Porter of Los Angeles and one brother,Roderick McRae of Pleasant Grove. There are two grandchildren, Oscar and Hazel McRae.

During the time of Frank Cunningham's funeral this morning, the office of the Appeal will be closed. No business whatever will be transacted until Frank Cunningham has been borne to his grave.
*********
Frank Cunningham
Frank Cunningham has gone beyond the veil into mysteries of the endless life.
Forty-seven years of unbroken faithful service is a tribute to the industry and loyalty of any man. And this was the record of Frank Cunningham in his association with the appeal.
There is something mighty touching in the death of Frank Cunningham
It ended a companionship that was beautiful in those qualities that are so rare in brotherhood. For sixty years Frank and Ed Cunningham had been inseparable. In the days of boyhood each fought the other's battles. There was no questioning right or wrong. They were brothers. For them that was enough. Side by side they have worked in the Appeals office for nearly half a century -- each with a watchful eye for the other. If Ed looked tired, Frank lingered past the end of his day and lend him a helping hand. Lately, when Frank began to show sighns of the wear of his long stewardship, Ed came down to the office earlier than he was expected to lend Frank a helping hand.
Thus have these two brothers gone through life.
Their marriage to twin sisters brought them even closer together.
Their lives are a beautiful lesson in brotherly love.
Perhaps it was well that Frank simply fell asleep and asleep began a wonderful journey to which from the cradle we seem to hurry on. Goodbyes, which mean such a separation, bring only tears and sobs.
Frank Cunningham shired no responsibility.
Quiet, earnest, sincere, loveable -- he was every inch a man.
The Appeal office does not seem the same.
The vacant place cannot be filled. An association of forty-seven years is not ended without grief -- without that feeling of goneness in which every member of the Appeal family deeply shares.
