PAUL D. CUNNINGHAM son of S. A. Cunningham, editor of the CONFEDERATE VETERAN, drowned in the Rio Grande River, July 13, 1901 aged 31 years; a civil engineer. [Editor Samuel A.

CONFEDERATE VETERAN, volume 9, #7, July 1901, page 294:
|
Friends of the VETERAN, of its founder and editor will read with sympathetic interest the tragic story of Paul Davis Cunningham's death, and of his magnificent earthly career. He was Consulting Engineer of the International Boundary Commission, and the Chief Engineer in charge of an expedition on the Rio Grand river from San Marcial, N. Mex., to the mouth. He had made good progress, when, on the night of June 22, he was awakened by the crawling over him of a large snake -water moccasin or copperhead. He lay still until the reptile had gotten off of him, and then sprang to the camp fire, when the snake buried its fangs in his left foot. Promptly one of the men who had served under him in Cuba sucked from the wound what he could of the poison. Then he was given whisky, and as soon as practicable he took the train at Langtry for El Paso, where he received medical treatment and in a few days had sufficiently recovered to return to his work. See VETERAN for May, page 231; and for June, page 279. He wrote and telegraphed his father on July 4 that he expected to be at Eagle Pass by the 15th, but the work progressed so well that he reached there on the 12th. The telegraph of Sunday, July 14. brought intelligence of his tragic death, which called forth widespread expressions of sorrow. Mr. J. D. Dillard, assistant Engineer, wrote from El Paso, on July 18, to Mr. S. A. Cunningham: "Your son Paul's death has cast a shadow over the entire party of which he was chief. It was an accident that could have easily befallen any member of the party. We had more than a thousand miles of river that was considered dangerous. "Presuming he had advised you from time to time of the progress and general details of the trip from San Marcial, New Mexico to Eagle Pass, I shall go only into the details of the last twenty-four hours. "The evening of the 12th we camped at Eagle Pass and after reading, our mail and making reply to some letters we went to the camp ground and spent a very enjoyable evening discussing in general the good luck and progress, wherein we were doing better than we even hoped to do. "The morning of the 13th our negro cook complained or being sick and unable to proceed further on the trip, so we were delayed in getting away from Eagle Pass, some two hours. Finally not being able to secure a camp cook, Paul arranged with one of the Mexican boatmen to do the cooking. "We started out, Paul and two Mexican boatmen in one boat. D. Griggs, two Mexican boatmen, and I in the other. During the day's travel we encountered good river until a few minutes to six in the afternoon. Our boats were drifting side by side. Paul and I talked of the progress of the day, he remarking that our day's travel was equally as good as on previous days. "Soon thereafter we came to a long, wide stretch of rock-strewn channel. His boat entered the swift water first, and for more than one thousand yards we traveled over this dangerous channel. At the lower end of it rock reefs ran out to near midstream from either side, thus confining the river in a very narrow, bowlder-strewn channel. His boat, on entering the channel, lodged or grounded on a rock reef that was near water surface, and the swift water soon threw the boat broadside to the current, and in going off the reef was carried broadside on to a bowlder that caused his boat to cant, throwing the stern under water. Griggs and I ran our boat just below him and in getting broadside to the channel it was lodged against a projecting bowlder and capsized. A few seconds before our boat capsized I was looking toward Paul, and the last I saw of him he was out of the boat holding to the side. As soon as we were thrown into the water I lost sight of every one for a few seconds, but lodged myself against a large projecting rock in midstream some one hundred feet below where we were capsized. On gaining a hold, I turned to look for the rest of the party, and was horror-stricken to find Paul missing. "Mr. Griggs and I feel his loss keenly, and extend to you our most heartfelt sympathies in your sad bereavement. My associations for the past ten months as his assistant engineer had endeared him greatly to me." Later: In an interview with Mr. Dillard by the El Paso Herald he states: '"At luncheon that day Mr. Cunningham spent his spare time in getting up his notes. He talked but little, and ate very little. When we struck the rough water we were some fifty yards behind Mr. Cunningham. We got through the rough water about a half-mile when we came to a narrow chute where the water was not more than forty feet wide, but some twenty feet deep. He adds that Mr. Cunningham's boat got near the Texas side and struck a boulder. "I steered my boat, and got just below him, where I might render any assistance possible; but as I turned around I saw the boat going down the river and his hat floating by itself." Mr. Griggs reported to Mrs. Josephine Sparks, at Eagle Pass, that Paul was handicapped in trying to save his papers and instruments. He evidently made a desperate effort to do that. The body arrived at Nashville Thursday evening, July 18. |

Paul Davis Cunningham was born November 27, 1869, on the third anniversary of the wedding day of his parents, S. A. Cunningham and Laura N. Davis. Paul was the first-born and only son of his parents. A sister, Mary, was born a little more than three years later, and died at the early age of two years and seven months. His mother died in October, 1879, before he was ten years old. His boyhood home thereafter was with her parents, W. B. Davis and wife, near Forsyth, Ga., until he entered college. The home of his father and mother for a long time comprised every earthly wish of the now sole survivor of that little but very happy family.

A BRAVE LITTLE NEWSBOY. The following is a sketch full of touching interest of a bit of a ragged newsboy who had lost his mother. In the tenderness of his affection for her he was determined that he would raise a stone to her memory. His mother and he had kept together, and they had been all to each other, but now she was taken, and the little fellow's loss was irreparable. But getting a stone was no easy task, for his earnings were small. But love is strong. Going to a cutter's yard and finding that even the cheaper class of stones were far too much for him, he at length fixed upon a broken shaft of marble, part of the remains of an accident in the yard, and which the proprietor kindly named at such a low figure that it came within his means. There was much yet to be done, but the brave little chap was equal to it. Next day he conveyed the stone away on a little four-wheeled cart, and managed to have it put in position. The narrator, curious to know the last of the stone, visited the cemetery one afternoon, and he thus describes what he saw and learned: "Here it is', said the man in charge; and sure enough, there was our monument, at the head of one of the larger graves. I knew it at once. Just as it was when it left our yard, I was going to say, until I got a little nearer to it and saw what the little chap had done. I tell you, boys, when I saw it there was something blurred my eyes, so's I couldn't read it at first. The little man had tried to keep the lines straight, and evidently thought that capitals would make it look better and bigger, for nearly every letter was a capital. I copied it, and here it is; but you want to see it on the stone to appreciate it: MY mOTHER And, here, boys, the lettering stopped. After awhile I went back to the man in charge, and asked him what further he knew of the little fellow who brought the stone. "'Not much,' he said, 'not much. Didn't you notice a fresh little grave near the one with the stone? Well, that's where he is. He came here every afternoon for some time, working away at that stone, and one day I missed him, and then |

for several days. Then the man came out from that church, that had buried the mother, and ordered the grave dug by her side. I asked if it was for the little chap. He said it was. He had sold his papers all out one day, and was hurrying along the street out this way. There was a runaway team just about the crossing, and -well--he was run over, and didn't live but a day or two. He had in his hand when he was picked up an old file, sharpened down to a point, that he did all the lettering with. They said he seemed to be thinking only of that until he died, for he kept saying: "I didn't get it done; but she'll know I meant to finish it, won't she? I'll tell her so, for she'll be waiting for me;" and, boys, he died with those words on his lips." When the men in the cutter's yard heard the story of the boy the next day they clubbed together, got a good stone, inscribed upon it the name of the boy, which they succeeded in getting from the superintendent of the Sunday school, which the little newsman attended, and underneath it the touching, expressive words: "He loved his mother." When the stone was put up, the little fellow's Sunday school mates as well as others were present, and the superintendent, in speaking to them, told them how the little fellow had loved Jesus and tried to please him, and gave utterance to this high encomium: "Children," said he "I would rather be that brave, loving little newsboy, and lie there with that on my tombstone, than be king of the world, and not love and respect my mother." That little newsman has left a lesson to the world. — New York City Mission Monthly. |
