NOBLE C. CUNNINGHAM.—Captain Cunningham was a native of Ohio. In early life he
removed to Missouri, where he married and settled. He served his country in the
Mexican war, having enlisted in Missouri under Colonel Doniphan. Upon his return
he went to St. Louis, where he lived until 1849, when he came overland to
California. After a brief sojourn in the mines, he settled in Sacramento, where
he was elected marshal in 1850, and took an active part in the squatter troubles
of that summer. Soon after the organization of Plumas county, he came here and
engaged in merchandising at Long valley, Nelson Point, Round valley, and lastly
at Taylorville. In 1808 he returned to Missouri, and from there to Texas, where
he died in 1878. He was for a time captain of the Plumas Rangers.
