Miss Margaret Cunningham

  Died on the 17th day of December, 1873, in Philadelphia, at the 
residence of her brother-in-law, Dr. S. Kimmel, Miss Margaret 
Cunningham, eldest daughter of Mrs. Eliza Cunningham, of Gaysport.  
She had been in bad health for some time and had gone to the city for 
the purpose of medical treatment. Her relatives and friends, and also 
her physician flattered themselves that she was getting better, and 
would soon be restored to health, when she unexpectedly died, to the 
great sorrow of her family and many warm friends. Her remains were 
brought to her home and followed by many sad relatives and friends to 
her grave, on the twenty-first day of December, in the Presbyterian 
Cemetery. Miss Cunningham had been a teacher in the Presbyterian Female 
Seminary near Pittsburg, and a part of the time in the public schools 
in this place and vicinity. She was a young lady of great intelligence 
and an excellent teacher, and was universally beloved and esteemed by 
her scholars and acquaintances. She was remarkable for good common 
sense, a cheerful and happy spirit and unselfishness, and devotion to 
her family and her duty. She was for a number of years a member of the 
M. E. Church, and by her walk and conversation happily illustrated the 
doctrines of the christian religion. The writer was acquainted with her 
for a number of years and has known few young woman possessed of so 
many admirable qualities, and of so much of the respect and admiration 
of all her acquaintances. She will be long remembered in this 
community, and will always be spoken of with respect and admiration. 
                                                             - A FRIEND
