Nora, aka Onnie, was born to Patrick and Ellen Cunningham of WestMeath, Ireland. She met and married Lyman Bills in New York City shortly after immigrating to America. About 1900 they moved to southeast Vermont and settled on a hillside farm in Newfane, Vermont, where they raised a large family.

Nora and Lyman's children:
1) Helen F., born in NYC November, 1893; married Lawrence Butterfield.
2) Melvina A., born in NYC December, 1894; married Floyd Clark.
3) Lewis Cunningham, born in NYC October, 1896; married Enriqueta Inez Cherrie.
4) Violet Edith, born 1 Oct 1900, in Stratton, Vermont, married Edward Beaudry.
5) Onnie Laurie (Onny Prescott), born in Newfane, Vermont, 22 Oct 1904.
6) Margarette May, stillborn in Newfane, 2 Jan 1907.
7) Lyman Sylvester, born 21 Feb 1910 in Newfane.
8) Kathleen Theresa, born 15 Dec 1913, in Newfane; married Joseph Perry.

After being widowed in 1928, Nora remained at the Newfane Hill farm, vitally central in the lives of her children and grandchildren and their extended communities until her death in 1945.
