A neighbor, who brought the sad news to The Advocate office this morning, touchingly said: "No man ever had a better neighbor. He was always thoughtful, generous and sympathetic and this community never had a better citizen." No higher tribute could be paid a man than this. There is seen in it the spirit of "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself." The deceased was a life-long member of the Baptist church and when his health would permit, he was always a constant attendant and was one who could be counted upon to do his full share in carrying the church's burdens. He was a member of that old school of Southern gentlemen, who are so rapin passing, leave a void that cannot idly passing from our midst and who, be filled.

Besides the above a brother and three sisters survive. Mr. George A. Burke, of this city, is also a nephew. In 1910 Mr. Cunningham moved to Boyle county and at once took high rank in this community. While he owned the John J. Yeiser farm on the Shakertown road, he had practically retired from farming and his son, Leslie, was running the place.
