Mrs, Mary Elizabeth Cunningham.

The entire community was greatly
shocked Sunday morning by the an
nouucement that Mrs. Mary Elizabeth
Cunningham, wife of Rev. J. T. Gun
ningham, had suddenly expired at her
! home on Main street. Mrs. Cunning
ham had gotten up at the usual hour
and had almost alone prepared the
morning meal which was just completed
when she fell and expired Immediately.
For several months her health had been
in precarious condition and was the
source of much solicitude to her family
and friends, but the end was none the
less a deep sorrow and shock. Mrs.
Cunningham was Miss Mary Elizabeth
Heard, andSwas reared in Clay and
Monroe counties. She became the wife
of Rev. j. T. Cunningham at an early
age and as the wife of MethodistSmin-
lister her home was frequently changed
as the laws of the church require. In
the duties which fall to the lot of an
itinerant minister her husband found in
her helpmeet and companion who was
a solace and comfort under all the
varying conditions that surrounded
them. In his pastoral work he received
that assistance which only the true
Christian wife could give, and hand in
hand they ministered to those among
whom their lot was cast. Her life was
every day sermon from which noble
lessons of self-sacrifce, untiring devo-
ton to duty, and deep conservation to
Christ were drawn. Mrs. Cunningham
was the mother of eight children. all of
whom survive. These are George t.,
Hal, Joe. j T. Jr., and Farley, the
sons, and Mrs. Hobson. Mrs. McElroy,
and Mrs. Boothe, the daughters Two
of the sons, Rev. Hal Cunningham and
Rev j. T. Cunningham are ministers
OF the Methodist church. In her home
life was portrayed all the tender and
motherly instincts. To her husband and
her children she was devoted and each
was at all times the recipient of that
loving care that comes from deepest
affection. In return she was the idol OF
her family and upon her was bestowed
the tenderest love and affection by each
member. She was an active worker In
the church and was greatly beloved by
her associates. At a recent meeting OF
the Woman's Foreign Mission Society
one of the scholarships pledged by the
congregation of her church here was
named in her honor, compliment she
richly merited.
The funeral services were conducted
at the Methodist church by Rev. I. W.
Lewis assisted by Rev, N. G. Augustus.
The remarks were devoted to the life
and character of the deceased and con-
ISOLATION to the bereaved family and
friends and the hope Of happy reunion
in the hereafter, The floral offerings
were numerous and beautiful.
20 the bereaved and aged husband
and to the children we offer that SYM
pathy which is prompted by long and
sincere personal friendship.
