John Cunningham was born in Janesville, Wis., June 17, 1862, and died in the same city, July 18, 1916.
He graduated from Milton College in 1885. He leaves a wife, Mary Boss Cunningham, a loyal member of the Milton Seventh Day Baptist Church, and two sons, Roger and Robert.
Funeral services were conducted at his late home, July 20, by Rev. L. C. Randolph, his college schoolmate and his wife's pastor. By an undesigned coincidence Mr. Cunningham's photograph stood on the mantel during the memorial services close to a large picture of President Lincoln. The arrangement was appropriate, for he was a lawyer of the Abraham Lincoln type. He was held in universal confidence and commonly known as "Honest John." He was president of the Rock County Bar Association and held other positions of honor and trust. A large number of prominent men paid loving tribute to his memory by their attendance at his funeral.
