FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MRS. LAURA M. CUNDIFF HELD AT METHODIST CHURCH 
FRIDAY

Last rites for Mrs. Laura M. Cundiff, 69 year old former resident of 
Wolfe County, who died of a heart ailment Friday, November 9, at the home 
of a son, Charles Cundiff, in Detroit, were held at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday 
at the Methodist Church here.  Rev. Ramah Johnson was in charge of the 
services.

Mrs. Cundiff, the daughter of Ira and Sarah Drake, was born on Meadow 
Branch in Wolfe county on September 13, 1876.  She lived on the old home 
place until a few years ago.   She moved to Pine Ridge for a period of 
about six years.

Mrs. Cundiff, who had been in failing health for the past few years, 
had made her home with her granddaughter, Mrs. Herman Hull, in 
Flemingsburg, and her children, Mrs. Cecil Tyler, in Dayton, Ohio, Mrs. Courtney Hobbs and Mrs. Charles Cundiff, in Detroit, Michigan.

Mrs. Cundiff had been a member of the Methodist Church for many years, 
and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star for fifteen years.  

Early in life she was married to Mr. William H. Cundiff, and to their 
union ten children were born.  All survive her except Courtney, who 
passed away a year ago, and two children who died in infancy.

The pall bearers, by her request, were her sons, Carl, Charles, Aster, 
Basil, and a grandson, Kenneth Hobbs.  Her youngest son, Bill, who is 
with the U.S. Army in the South Pacific, was unable to attend the 
funeral.  At the request of the family, a special prayer was offered during 
the funeral services by Rev. Johnson for this son.

The large group of relatives and friends attending the services and the 
many beautiful floral offerings were evidence of the esteem and regard 
held for Mrs. Cundiff.

Services were concluded at the Evans-Drake cemetery by members of the 
Order of the Eastern Star.

Internment was by the Mexley Funeral Home, Flemingsburg.

Surviving relatives include the husband, Mr. W.M. Cundiff, Marion, 
Ohio; two daughters, Mrs. Courtney Hobbs, of Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. Cecil 
Tyler, of Dayton, and five sons, Carl, of Brooklyn, N.Y., Charles, of 
Detroit, Michigan.  Astor, of Middletown, Basil, of the Army Air Corps, 
and Bill, of the U.S. Army, a sister, Mrs. Mary Cable of Campton, nine 
grandchildren and one great grand child.
