General Notes: Husband - Dr. Dewees Cunningham

---

During the years of his boyhood he obtained the rudiments of an education in the common schools of North Sewickley, Pennsylvania. This was followed with a course in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, and he finally graduated from the Medical College of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1871. The Civil War of 1861-65 breaking out soon after he was ready to begin his professional career, Dr. Cunningham found a post of duty as assistant physician and surgeon, and remained steadfastly in the service of his country until the cessation of hostilities. Returning from the front, experienced and ready for work, he opened up a general practice in Wurtemberg, Perry township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, where his qualifications as a physician afforded a broad foundation on which a large practice was built.
The family were Presbyterians in religious belief. Dr. Cunningham early espoused the Republican cause in politics.
