       Pallbearers were Brasfield Grant, Roy Barkley, Thomas Boggs, R. E. Sutton, James Glass and Frank Jones.
       A wealth of beautiful flowers and the large number of friends assembled to pay the last tributes of respect attested to the love and esteem in which the departed was held.
       She is survived by five daughters and one son: Mrs. R. D. Hartzell, Mrs. Mary Mullinix, and Mrs. G. W. Torbert of Linden, Mrs. George Griffith of Columbus, Ga., Mr. J. A. Cuninghame of Birmingham, and Miss Caroline Cuninghame of Montgomery.

Ewing of Lewisburg, Tenn., John King Woolf of New Orleans, Mrs. W.A. Cammack of Camden, Henry Wynne of Birmingham, Eugene Wynne of Chattanooga, Tenn., and Major Jack Wynne of the U. S. Army.
       Among relatives from a distance attending the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. George Griffith and children Peggy, Tom and Gerry; and Jack Torbert of Columbus, Ga., Mr. and Mrs. James A. Cuninghame of Birmingham; Judge Jim Cuninghame of Grove Hill.
       Mrs. Cuninghame was born February 22, 1866 in Linden where her entire life was spent. She was the daughter of Henry Ashby Woolf and Frances Gholson Woolf.
       On January 31, 1888, she was married to William Cuninghame who was later to become distinguished in the legal profession, business and financial circles, and as a leader in the civic and public affairs of his town and county, with whom she lived happily for many years until his death a few years ago.
       She was a member of the Linden Baptist Church, which she joined in early life and was one of its most faithful and devoted members. Through the years she served as teacher in the Sunday School and leader in woman's work serving her Master with consecration, which extended her influence for good far beyond her immediate circle. To unusual ability and culture she added gentleness and charm which won for her the love and esteem of those who knew her. Seeking only the good in others, over their faults she always cast the mantle of Christian charity, and her greatest joy was found in opportunities to serve others and help them to better and nobler ideals of life. In her passing Linden has lost one of its most valuable citizens.
