Lima News, November 4, 1926
Lewis H. “Lou” Cunningham, aged 60 years, life long resident and well known 
theatrical manager, died at the home of his brother, Harold Cunningham, on 
West Spring street. Death resulted from heart trouble after an illness lasting 
10 months.

Cunningham had been prominent in theatricals in Lima for many years, having 
served as manager of the Faurot Opera House for almost 20 years.

He was born in Lima, August 25, 1866, the son of Theodore and Elizabeth 
Cunningham.  His father was one of the early settlers of Allen-co and a 
prominent Ohio lawyer.  Following his graduation from Lima high school, Lou 
Cunningham became associated with the Buckeye Pipe Line Co., and later went to 
Toledo where he served in the Internal Revenue department.  In 1900 he 
returned to Lima and took over the management of the Faurot Opera House, which 
at that time was one of the most popular legitimate houses in northwest Ohio.  
Cunningham was a life member of the Elks Lodge.

Besides his brother Harold, with whom he had resided for 25 years, he leaves 
two other brothers, Thomas N., Lakewood avenue and Theodore E., Evanston, Ill.

Funeral services will be conducted at the residence at 2 p.m. Saturday.  Rev. 
Samuel Heucker, pastor of Market-st Presbyterian church will officiate.  
Burial will be in Woodlawn cemetery.”
