Carnesville Herald, May 3, 1956
Final rites were held last Sunday afternoon for one of Royston's and Northeast 
Georgia's most prominent and beloved citizens -- Mr. Joe T. Cunningham.

Mr. Cunningham, who was 73 years of age, died at Cobb Memorial Hospital early 
Saturday morning.  He had been in failing health for some time, becoming 
seriously ill a week before his death.

Funeral services were conducted from the Royston Methodist Church Sunday 
afternoon at 3 o'clock with Rev. Jule D. Matheson, Rev. Homer J. Fussell, and 
Rev. Neal Windom officiating.  Burial was in Rose Hill Cemetery, Royston.

Mr. Cunningham was one of the leading businessmen in Royston.  He celebrated 
his 50th anniversary in the furniture business last July.  In addition to the 
furniture business which bears his mane, he founded Cunningham-Pruitte Funeral 
Home, and was a member of the board of directors of Tri-County Bank.

A native of Franklin County, he was a son of the late Susie and William 
Franklin Cunningham, pioneer citizens of Royston.

Surviving are his wife, the former Miss Helen Bush; a daughter, Mrs. Mitchell 
Bond of Royston; a granddaughter, Miss Margaret Palma Bond of Royston; 2 
brothers, Edwin Cunningham of Athens and Tom Cunningham of Royston; 1 sister, 
Mrs. G. G. Ridgeway, also of Royston.
