The following biographical sketch
was read at the services at the house
| by Rev. E. c. Anderson, giving here
and there glimpses of life of devo-
tion, usefulness and high purpose:
about three-quarters of century
ago daughter was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Cunningham of Richfield Springs,
New York. The child was baptized
in the Protestant Episcopal church,
was named Marion and was later con-

"Over half century ago, while a
professor at Beloit, she was united in
holy matrimony to its young president
