DEMOCART

DEATH OF S.T. CUNNINGHAM
  On the morning of the 7th of August through the kindness of Judge
Appleby, I took a seat in his auto beside his mother for a drive to 
Mount Comfort where the funeral services of the late S. T. Cunningham 
were conducted by Rev. Edward Freyschlag.
  Solomon Tuttle Cunningham was born on the 26th of April, 1836 at a 
home nearby where he lived and died, surrounded by friends and loved 
ones. For some months before his death it was evident that his life 
was slowly ebbing away, and that death had marked him for his victim.
  William Cunningham with Solomon Tuttle, grandfather of the deceased,
Hezekiah Appleby, and the McCurdys were among the earliest settlers of
the Mount Comfort neighborhood, coming to Washington County about the
year 1831. They were all members of the Presbyterian Church esteemed by
all for their integrity and piety...the deceased in early became a
Presbyterian and lived an exemplary Christian life.
  Solomon Cunningham being naturally of a retiring disposition made not
very many friends but the few were bound to him by "hooks of steel".
Early in the year 1861, responding to the call of his state he enlisted
in the Confederate Service and was a true and faithful soldier to the
close of the war. His life occupation was that of farming.... .
