NORTH BELFAST. Our village met
with distinct loss in the death of Ralph
H Cunningham, which occurred at his
home Wednesday night, Jan. 22nd, of the
prevailing influenza, aged 29 years. He,
together with his brother Roy, had been
engaged in trade here several years. He
was noted for his stirring, jovial, DISPOSE
ton, which made him a general favorite.
He was closely identified with the social
and industrial life of the community and
will be sadly missed in these directions
He was member of Timothy Chase
LOuBC, L. X n. M. dlO VI SuCullCdI Eli
CINE Co. No 1. He is survived by his
young wife and child, his triplet brother
Roy and sister Rena, father and mother
and an older brother Ross. The funeral
was held Sunday at the home of his
father, Mr.. Harvey S. Cunningham, Rev.
A. E. Wilson of the First Parish church
officiating. The floral offerings were
abundant and very beautiful. The bear
ers were Arthur Coombs, Herman Beck
with Charles Marsano, Leslie Gardner.
The remains were placed in the receiving
tomb until spring.. Many in this COM
MUMMY were grieved to hear of the
death of Capt. Ephraim w. Wiley of
Searsmont. He was highly respected
resident of this village many years and
his going away from here a few years
ago was much deplored. While here he
identified himself with everything that
would further the best interest of the
village. He took an active part in re-
modelling the church few years ago and
was constant attendant at the services.
MRS. Almeda Cunningham and little
daughter have gone to Searsport to live
with her father, Mr.. Ephraim Richards.
.....Our sick people, many of whom have
had the influenza, are recovering.
