JOHN CUNNEA, banker and cashier, Morris, was born in Ireland, July 22, 1840; 
is a son of James CUNNEA, whose biography appears elsewhere in this history. 
Our subject came to the United States in 1846; stopped two years in New York 
City, then came to Illinois, and soon afterward settled in Will County, at 
what is now called Braidwood. There he attended school, and afterward 
completed his education at Bryant & Stratton's Business College in Chicago. 
Mr. CUNNEA purchased a considerable tract of land at Braidwood, and remained 
there engaged in farming for seventeen years. He came to Morris in May, 1866, 
and about a year afterward, in connection with his brothers opened a loan 
office, which they continued till August, 1872, when they purchased of D. D. 
Spencer his banking business at Seneca. All the appurtenances of the bank they 
removed to Morris, where they still carry on a general banking business. The 
bank is known as the First National Bank of Morris, the proprietors being 
James CUNNEA & Sons. September 1, 1875, our subject was married to Jennie A. 
HOGE, daughter of Samuel and Matilda (HOLDERMAN) HOGE. This union has resulted 
in two children - Samuel James and Charity Isabella. Mr. CUNNEA and wife are 
members of the Catholic Church. He is a Democrat.
