General Notes: Husband - Richard Cunningham McCormick

In his early life he was a journalist in the city, and later he succeeded to the leather business of his father's firm, Cunningham & McCormick. He was a prominent fireman, lieutenant-colonel of one of the militia regiments, and for many years Secretary of the Mer­chants Exchange Company. He was a large operator in real estate in New York and Brooklyn, and a man of education and extensive reading. Although admitted to the bar, and a student of medicine, he never practiced law or medicine. He was active in church work during most of his life; was interested in benevolent and educational societies, and well known for intelligence, enterprise and public spirit, but held no political office.
