Resolutions on John Dabney Cunningham
1867-1939
WHEREAS:
John Dabney Cunningham, a direction of this, The
First National Bank of Corsicana, departed this
life on October 28, 1939, and it is the desire
of the officers and directors of this bank, by
appropriate resolution to make an appreciative
record of his life;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That the officers and directors of this bank
record the following brief biography of John
Dabney Cunningham:
John Dabney Cunningham was born on a farm a few
miles from Waxahachie, Ellis County, Texas, on
October 29, 1867. His father was George H.
Cunningham, a pioneer of Ellis County, who came
to Texas in 1849 and in September, 1859, married
Miss Tennessee Simms and to them nine children
were born, John Dabney Cunningham being the
third.
In 1862, George H. Cunningham entered the Civil
War on the side of the Confederacy, enlisting in
Company C. 19th Calvary, as a private, and was
promoted to Lieutenant during duration of war.
After the close of the war, he settled in Ellis
County, following his profession, that of a
civil engineer, often accepting land for his
services, thereby accumulating much land which,
with other lands purchased, made him one of the
largest land owners in Ellis County.
The family moved to Waxahachie from which place
John Dabney Cunningham left to attend Winchester
College, Winchester, Tennessee, and after
finishing there moved to Corsicana and for a
short while was employed by his brother-in-law,
Mr. W. M. Tatum, and later became a partner with
Mr. Tatum in the hardware business.
Shortly after moving to Corsicana on September
3, 1889, he married Miss May Young, of a pioneer
family near Blooming Grove, who departed this
life on September 28, 1927. To them two children
were born, Estill Y. Cunningham and John D.
Cunningham, Jr.
On March 14, 1929, he married Mrs. Hattie Petty
Miller who was born and reared in Huntsville,
Alabama.
Early in life, John Dabney Cunningham became a
member of the Methodist church and remained a
faithful and devoted member of this church until
his death. He was and had been for many years a
steward in the First Methodist Church of
Corsicana. He could always be found on the side
of good government and morality.
He was engaged in the wholesale and retail
hardware business with his brother-in-law, Mr.
W. M. Tatum, for many years but retired several
years ago to devote his entire attention to his
farming interests.
He was elected a director of this bank on
January 13, 1925, and served in this capacity
until his death.
He lived simply and without ostentation. He was
courteous and kind. He was honest in his
dealings. He was a devoted husband and father
and a loyal brother. He was a sincere friend.
After a brief illness he died at his home in
Corsicana, Texas, on October 28, 1939. He is
survived by his wife, Mrs. Hattie Cunningham,
his two sons, Estill Y. Cunningham and John D.
Cunningham, Jr., his brother, Claude C.
Cunningham of Corsicana, and his sisters, Mrs.
W. M. Tatum of Corsicana , Mrs. G. H. Edmonson
of Waxahachie, and Mrs. C. R. Wright of
Waxahachie.
BE IT, THEREFORE, RESOLVED:
That the officers and directors of the First
National Bank of Corsicana, wish to record their
loss of a loyal friend and a valued associate in
the passing of John Dabney Cunningham; and they
share with his widow, sons, brothers, sisters,
the many business institutions in which he was
an important factor, and the large circle of
friends, who admired and respected him, the loss
of a husband, father, brother, friend,
associate, and stalwart citizen.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:
That this resolution be spread upon the minutes
of this bank; that a copy thereof be sent to his
wife and children and a copy to the press for
publication.
This, the 5th day of December, 1939.

Mrs. R. E. Prince Sad Death at Corsicana.
Corsicana, Sept. 12. - One of the saddest occurrences which has fallen in the way of The News correspondent to note took place in this city last night in the death of Mrs. R. E. Prince. She had been sick only a few days and a fatal termination was not expected by friends until a few hours before her death. Her mother, residing in St. Joe, Mo., had been telegraphed for and arrived at the beside of her daughter only a few minutes before her death, but in time to be recognized. The remains, accompanied by the grief stricken mother and husband, left this morning for her former home, St. Joe, Mo., where the interment will take place. Some affection of the heart was the cause of death. Mr. Prince is one of the leading young attorneys of this city, and they had been married only about a year. Notes:
