GEORGE W. CUNNINGHAM

George W. Cunningham died at his home in San Angelo Wednesday morning at five o'clock and was buried in that city in the afternoon of the day.

Mr. Cunningham was a native of Comanche county and was 68 years old. His parents, James and Susan Cunningham, were typical pioneers who settled on Mountain Creek in 1855, where they raised a family of twelve children. When Mills county was created, he was elected sheriff and was three times reelected. He served at a time when the duties of the office were more exacting than now and when danger was to be encountered. He never failed in his duty to the public.

Mr. Cunningham had lived in San Angelo for the past twenty years.

He is survived by two sons and four daughters.
