GONE TO HER REWARD

MRS. LORENA CUNNINGHAM died in her home in Gentry, Monday, March 30^th, 1903, after an illness of several months.  She was born in Park Co., Indiana, Feb. 26, 1844,  and was married in Fountain county, Indiana, January 30, 1862.  The deceased was a member of the M.E. Church, South, having united with that organization in 1869 at Pattonsburg, MO.  Since 1874, she has been a resident of Benton county, and all who knew her loved her on account of the immaculate life she led.  When in health, she was always the first to visit her sick neighbors, and administer to their wants like a sweet angel of mercy.  The writer of this sketch has received many kind acts at the hands of this noble Christian woman, in times of sickness and trouble, and loved her almost as a mother.  We feel sure that she will be rewarded in heaven for the good she has done here.

Short services were held at the residence and the remains were laid to rest in the Doublas cemetery near Hoover.  The members of the W.O.W. and a large number of borrowing friends accompanied the remains to their last resting place.

(extra info: WOW is a lodge…Tom, her dad belonged IOOF and his grandfather (Cunningham) got him into it).

** It actually looks like "Susanna"  The first letter is kind of a straight line which could be an "L" but it doesn't look like the other L's on the page; it does kind of look like the other S's on the page.  I still think that this is our Lorena because the other names and ages in the family are the same as what was told by Gladwyn Gold.

**According to the 1900 census, Joseph Cunningham was born January 1863 which would make him 7 in 1870.
