I am also working on the Cunningham family of Brown Co., OH. William T. or F. Cunningham married Annie Geins on 10 Sep 1871 in Lawrence Co., IL. After marriage, the couple travelled someplace away from Lawrence County. We have a copy of a letter from W.F. Cunningham to his father-in-law, where he writes, "Well, Henry I will give you some of the prices of things here. Hogs fat $2.25 % hundred gross. Fat Cattle 1 1/4 to 2 cts. gross. Flour $2.75 to $3 per hundred. Corn meal 35%, bushel corn 20 cts. Potatoes 50 cts. New potoes shiped from Texas in $1.00. Coffee 4 to 5 lbs to $1. Calice 5 cts. % yd and other things in proportion. Wheat looks well has rust in the blades but not on the stalks yet. Well we are having a mill built in our town now comenced a few days ago. intend to have it runing against the first of August. There will be plenty of apples here in a year or two There was lots of them shiped here all winter sold for $1.00 and $1.25 % bushel Dried peaches !
7 cts % lb. Eggs 7 cts % doz. butter 8 cts has been 15 and 20 cts all winter Will I have wrote you all of importance So I will close for this time. W. F. Cunningham" Of course, we do not know when or where he posted this letter. William F. Cunningham was the son of Silas Cunningham and Mahala Henderson; his brothers were Levi, Bainbridge, and George. Am searching for the descendants of Wm. Cunningham & Annie Geins.
