W. “Dick” Cunningham, 83, a lifelong resident of Allen-co died at his home in Bluffton, yesterday. He had been ill for more than a year. Mr. Cunningham was born on a farm south of Lima. He was a young newspaperman in the 1870’s and in 1875 he resurrected the Bluffton News. He headed that publication until about 1900 at which time he sold it to Jess Huber. He was president of the Bluffton bank until it closed in 1931. He was connected with that institution for nearly twenty-five years. Cunningham was a member of the Bluffton Presbyterian church and a member of the Masonic lodge. His wife is the only close survivor. Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow at the Bluffton Presbyterian church with Rev. C. N. Armentrout, officiating.
