Ermine Henry Cunningham (1881-1946)

Ermine Henry Cunningham (1881-1946) holds baby Vivian, c.1916. Seen here on Second Street NE looking north to St. Mary Church in Massillon, Ohio, Ermine Cunningham was born in Kentucky and married DeWitt "Duke" Cunningham in 1914. Duke Cunningham was a disk jockey, orchestra leader, Massillon Band member, car wash owner, steel worker, janitor, and shoe shine. Looking at family records we are unsure who baby Vivian is, but we know that Ermine and Duke adopted Nancy Thompson. If you have any information or further details please let us know!
