James Cunnea emigrated to the United States in 1846. In Ireland, his native 
land, he was a storekeeper. Upon coming to America he settled in Will county, 
Illinois, and engaged in dairy farming. A few years later he removed to Grundy 
county, where the rest of his life was spent, engaged in banking at Morris for 
a number of years. Mr. Cunnea died in 1884, at the age of seventy-four years, 
well known and highly respected by all. He and his wife, whose maiden name was
