General Notes: Husband - Robert H. Cunningham

---

After completing his studies in the schools in the neighborhood of his home, he gave his attention to the tilling of the soil, in which pursuit he was successful, he having been well trained during his youth by assisting his father in the work on the home farm, and he continued along the same line until the year 1886, when he removed to Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, and engaged in the general contracting business, which he has conducted up to the present time (1914) it being now run under the style of R. H. Cunningham & Sons. His business is in a prosperous condition, owing to the fact that he gives to it his personal supervision, that he is progressive in his ideas and honorable in his methods, and he ranks among the substantial business men of his section. In 1896 he erected a fine brick residence in Turtle Creek, where he has since made his home. He casts his vote for the candidates of the Republican party. [GPHWP, 971]

He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church of Turtle Creek.
