(No obituary has been located for Maggie D. Cunningham. There was a short article in the Newark community column of the July 7, 1960, issue of the 'Batesville Weekly Record' telling of her serious illness. That article listed many of her children. This obituary was constructed from information from Roy Dale Cunningham's book 'The Cunningham Chronicles' and from research by Max Parnell.)
