  • Notes 
    • CUNNINGHAM, EDWARD G.

      Many of Hespeler's "older boys" will be sorry to learn of the death on Saturday, July 28, 1934 at Stamford, Connecticut, of Dr. Cunningham, affectionately called "Eddie" by his associates in Hespeler, at which place he had been an occasional visitor since leaving for the States. He never tired of relating his boyhood experiences in the place of his birth, although a busy man in the pursuit of his profession in New York City. Dr. Cunningham was treasurer of the Physicians' Home, a member of the exclusive Quill Club of New York, a past master of the Masons, a captain in the National Guard. He was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Dental College in Philadelphia. He leaves his wife and three children; three sisters, Mrs. J. F. Whitaker, Miss Ida G. and Mrs. Shields; and a brother, Clarence, all in the U. S.
