Summons Comes Quickly
Mrs Robert Cunningham Found Dead by Grandson on His Return From School
American Fork, Jan. 19-- Mrs Robert Cunningham of this place was found dead at her home today noon, from what is supposed to have been heart failure. The lady has been enjoying good health and was evidently in the act of polishing her cook stove when death overtook her. She had been living alone, with the exception of the 10-year-old grandson, who has been stopping with her and attending the public schools, and it was upon his return from school at noon that he found his grandmother dead having evidently expired but a short time before, as the body was still warm.

Mrs Cunningham was in her 79th year and was among the earliest settlers of this place, and was well known throughout the county as well as Salt Lake City. She leaves a large family of grown children, both here and in Salt Lake City, to survive her. Arrangements for the funeral will be made later.
