W. W. Cunningham died
Imm at New burg ‘ ‘
—ming and was laid to
day afternoon at the Newbarg
cemetery, the funeral eervieee be-
Inf conducted by Rev. Sidney
Martin and W. J. Brisco.
.William Wallace Cunningham
was born Dec. 7, 1854, in De Kalb
aeunty, Ala., and came with hie
parents to Texas as a lad of 15
years in Dee. of 1869. On July
Ml, 1876, he was married to Miss
Martha Cox and together they
have made their home among us
many years since.
He U survived by his wife and
the following brothers and sisters:
George Cunningham of Lindsey,
Gk,; Mrs. Wiley Henry and Mrs.
Lee Chancellor of the Brushy Gap
•Mamqnity; and is survived by the
following children: C. C. Cunning-
ham of Amarillo, Mrs. J. A. Lee
of Scinton, Texas, Mrs. G. B
Moore of Newburg, Albert, Burl,
Mam, Frank and Miss Mattie Cun-
ningham of Newburg and Jesse
Cunningham of Greenville.
Mr. Cunningham was a member
of the Newburg Baptist Church
for forty-two years and no more
;devout Christian or church work-
er has ever lived than he. Through
out his whole life his first inter-
est was for the welfare of those
for whose lives he was responsible
»nd his second interest was al-
ways in his church.
His was a life rich in usefulness
to his maker, his community and
to those with w.hofii he was kssoci-
ated and no greater tribute to the
esteem in which he was held by
bis neighborrrmild be shown than
was shown in the devotion of his
neighbors ami friends throughout
the long period of his illness by
their constant care and watchful
ness for his comfort as long as
life remained in him. «
The poet has taught us to so
live that when the summon comes
to join the throng that moves to
ihat mysterious realm where each
takes his place in the silent halls
of death that we may approach
the end “like one who wraps the
drapery of his couch about him
and lies down to pleasant
dreams.’’ And if man has ever so
lived it was this esteemed neigh-
bor and citizen whose life was a
long precept of the teachings of
the Master.
And it is from the rare purity
of his life.and his usefulness in
the Creator’s work that the sor-
rowing family must get their so-
lace. For God in his infinite wis-
dom has prepared a home of ev-
erlasting peace for those who live
recording to His will and it is to
that reward so richly earned that
Mr. Cunningham has gone.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OP WHY PEOPLE ARE COMING TO BROWNWOOD TO TRADE:
/
One of the many families who stopped in Brownwood last week was asked why they came to Brownwood to trade. The head of this
family said: “We live quite a distance from Brownwood. Heretofore we have gone to the large cities in Texas to do most of our
buying — of course, we buy in our own small town all our needs Hint they can supply — hut having read and heard about the condi-
tion of Brownwood’s Stocks and the preparation thpt the dealers have made on account of the “oil boom’’ 1 talked it over with my
family-and we decided to see for ourselves what llAownwnod had to offer.
“It took us only a few hours to drive to Brownwood. Understand me, my family and I came to Brownwood to first look, and then if
it suited us — to huv. We shopped pretty well over the cny and became convinced that your values were good, the prices as reasonable
as could be hoped for — and that in every place wo visited we were made to feel welcome. Your stocks are large, and, as far as we
are able to determine, seem to cover every family need. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MINI) THAT WE HAVE SAVED CON
S1DERABLE MONEY BECAUSE OF THE REASONABLE BRICKS ON THE THINGS WE HAVE BOUGHT TODAY.
t
“You people in Brownwood have a group of nice garages; 1 made no choice in storing jnv car for the day, hut drove into the first
one I came to on the street that led me into Brownwood. Judging from the service 1 received at this Garage, Brownwood’® Garage
Bervice is th«j best 1 have ever found. We had a good dinner at one of your eating places — the service was good, the food was well
cooked and nicely served, the prices reasonable. After we had finished our buying we saw a good show. We were surprised to find
the most recent productions in moving pictures produced so soon after they were being advertised as being shown in the real
large cities.
“We are really glad we came to Brownwood to look — and buy. The cordial attention we received here made us feel at home
and made our shopping pleasant. We’re coming hack a little later for our real winter needs; we’ve beep looking with this trip in
view, and find you have everything we need.

to them as the fathers of men and
the founders of our present civili-
zation we are due the reverence
we should show those who made
our nation.
And such a one was Joe J. Cun-
ningham who contributed his part
to the making of this part of the
great world a better place for his
posterity and the children of his
children.
The sorrowing wife and child-
ren may draw their consolation
from the fact that of the life he
was given the father and husband
made the most and used it to the
best interest of Him who gives and
takes life away.
