#2-20 Apr., 1904 - The Pilot - Infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cunningham

The funeral of the little baby of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cunningham took place on Monday afternoon from the residence of J. E. Maher. The officiating clergymen were Rev. Father O’Driscoll of Blair and Rev. Father Walsh of Norfolk. The last rites at the house were most impressive, and were made all the more solemn by the presence of Prof. Johnson and his choir which rendered some beautiful hymns appropriate to the occasion. The sermon preached by the Rev. Father Walsh was full of words of comfort and consolation to the bereaved family. Father Walsh traveled from Norfolk to show his esteem for the family. The funeral was largely attended and was proof of the high esteem in which the family was held.
