President of Maryville College, after
which her remains were laid to rest
in Magnolia Cemetery by the side
of her husband. Her death came
as a great shock to large circle of
friends. She had been in failing
health ever since the death Of her
husband, from which she never
rallied. She had gone to Knoxville
to consult eminent physicians of
that city, and died at the home of
her son G, S. Cunningham, All
Of her children were at her bedside

son Edwin S. Cunningham, U. S.

Of failing health was on his way
home. when he received word of his
mothers death. He fastened
home and arrived here on the even
ing before the funeral and burial.
A large concourse of sorrowing
friends assembled at the home to
pay the last sad respects to the de-
parted loved one. The floral offer,
ings were beautiful and numerous,
and the flowers were emblematic of
the life of the mother who had just
passed into the great beyond. She
will not only be missed in the home
where her influence as a pure chris
tian mother and wife, was always
felt, but in the church and social
life of our little city. Truly one of
earth's noble christian mothers has
gone to claim the reward promised
the faithful. Four sons, Edwin S.,
Campbell S.. Clay and Ben Jr.,
other relatives, and numerous friends
are left to mourn her death. We
join with others in extending heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved ones.
