She was 77 years old and had been failing health since last May, although bedfast only about a week. Death resulted from pneumonia and heart disease.
Funeral services were conducted at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Millport Christian Church by the Rev. E. H. Willey of Rutledge, after a short service had been held at the home. Burial was in the Millport cemetery by the side of the grave of her husband, who died in 1919.

As Mary Jeanette Smith, Mrs. Cunningham was born in Allegheny County, New York, July 17, 1848. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, and when quite young came here with her parents from Ohio, where they had moved from New York. The family settled on a farm near Millport, and it was from there Mrs. Cunningham was married Sept. 29, 1868.
After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham made their home on the farm near Fabius, where Mrs. Cunningham died, and where they lived until a few years before the death of Mr. Cunningham, which was in Ft. Madison, where they had gone upon leaving the farm. Since the death of her husband Mrs. Cunningham has lived with her children.
