Additional Audubon
Deceased.

At his home in Audubon, between
" ten and eleven o'clock, Wednesday
Il night, Mr.. Barney Cunningham
passed from life unto death. At a
very early date in Audubon county's
history, this good man came and
bought tract of land with which
to make home just north of Audu-
bon, where he moved his family and
lived till old age compelled his aban-
donment of labor.
1t was while they were still on this
farm, that great calamity overlook
the family. Two of their sons who
had gone down to the river on fish
ing excursion, were brought home
cold in death, having been drowned
in the Nishnabotna river down near
the village of Oakfield. A cruel fate
had decreed this grief, and the bur-
den of sorrow was endured. A less
christian spirit would have succumb-
ed, and, perhaps too, have gone to its
Creator.
For several years past, Mr.. Cum
ningham, with his aged companion,
have lived in peaceful retirement in
his home at Audubon, enjoying
many visits from his only son, Mr..
William Cunningham, ENira's res
i pected young druggist. and Mrs.
John Mcclure, his only daughter.
1t was q pleasure to Nr. Cunning
ham to drive down to Extra and visit
his children, as it also was to his
children to go home and see the old
folks.
Only few days ago, the dear old
people, happy in each others com
pany, were in Extra visiting their
son and daughter. Who thought
then, that visit would be the last?
All his life he was a strict adherent
in the Roman Catholic faith and died
embracing the cross.
