Virginian-Pilot  April 10, 1916
Captain E. Harvie Cunningham, a popular member of the Virginia Pilot Association 
and prominent in the business life of Norfolk for the past twenty-five years, died 
yesterday morning at 9:45 o'clock. He was 53 years old. He had been unwell for 
more than a year, and three weeks ago returned from Buffalo Lithia Springs, where 
he went in search of health. His wife died about a month ago.
Captain Cunningham was a native of Richmond. After a few years in the tug boat 
business with Captain J. J. Cole, he became a master pilot. He at one time owned 
the Norfolk baseball club, and, while operating that franchise, developed Christy 
Mathewson. He was a director of the Seaboard National and Church street banks, and 
of the Twin City Permanent Building Association. He took an active interest in 
local and State politics and was a member of the city council at one time.
He is survived by one son, E. Harvie Cunningham, Jr., of Newport News; one sister, 
Mrs. Anna F. Cole, of Campostella; two brothers, Ernest Cunningham, of Newport 
News, and C C. Cunningham, of San Francisco, Cal. The funeral will take place 
Tuesday at the home of his sister, Mrs. Anna F. Cole, at Campostella, and will be 
conducted by Rev. Father John J. Doherty. Burial will be in St. Mary’s cemetery.
