CAPTAIN FRANK CUNNINGHAM
LAID TO REST WITH IMPRESS
sIyE SERVICES.

Simple but impressive services
marked the funeral of Captain Frank
w Cunningham at First baptist
church Monday afternoon. AS the
funeral party entered the church the
choir sang Lead. Kindly Light and
as the body was borne a little later
from the edifice to the tolling of the
church bell, the choir sang My Faith
Looks Up to Thee" Both these hymns
were favorites with the captain, who
had sung them himself at thousands
n funerals, bringing solsce and COM
fort 80 those bereaved and in trou-
bic.
Another feature of the service was
the reading of q section of Scripture
which had been read at funeral of
one of Captain Cunningham children
and which at his request was read
from the Bible which had belonged
to that child
Tender and touching reference to
the life and services Of the captain
wss made in beautiful prayer OF
fered by the Rev. Or. II. NJ. Wharton.
Of Baltimore. who knew him init
mately for many years.
Long before the hour for the ser
vice at $3.50 O'Clock the church was
filled with hundreds OF friends OF this
much beloved citi2-n, and it was nee
essary for the police to keep back
many when the edfice was packed to

The funeral party vas an hour late
in reaching the church, but there was
no delay in the services. The Rev.

Before the serv ICES were concluded
many left the edfce and hurried to

4 Captain Cunningham's voice was no,
heard at his own funeral, though II
had been frequently said that he sang
into photograph some years ago
requesting that the records be pre-.
served. SO that they might be repro
duced at his own funeral services. II
appears however, that the captain
was only testing when he made those
remarks. At any rate. it is stated
that none Of his family or friends
