General Notes: Husband - William W. Cunningham

---

On arriving at manhood's estate, he purchased fifty acres of unimproved land adjoining the parental estate, where he built himself a log-house, and brought the land into subjection and productiveness with axe and plow.
Overwork caused his health to fail, and he was only forty-two years of age when he was removed from the midst of his sorrowing family. His wife and children carried on the farm with substantial success, and met with a fair reward for their pains, which enabled them to undertake needed improvements, among which was the replacing of all the old structures about the place with new buildings. Mr. Cunningham held a firm belief in Republican principles, and gave considerable time and attention to the consideration of political questions, though never aspiring to public office. During the Civil War, he was drafted, but was not called on for duty in the field of action.
