Trip to Dayton, TN

June 11,2006
Paul and Rose drove us to Dayton Church of Christ for Sunday School and Church where David and Melissa and Todd were conducting a campaign with 50 people from Mount Juliet . After dinner on the grounds, Paul drove the family around Dayton and Gpa narrated. He pointed out..the house where his grandparents lived, his school, the lake where he fished, the spot where his mother was born, the courthouse where the monkey trial was held, the Morgan furniture company (owned by his uncle) Bryan college (named for William Jennings Bryan) and many other landmarks.
We went to Buttram cemetery where His grandmother and grandfather are buried. (Lawrence E. Cunnyngham and Pearl
Morgan Cunnyngham.) Most of the Morgans and Cunnynghams are buried there, but we happened upon JMB's great grandfather's grave in an older cemetery. Rose took pictures of the tombstones for her family records.

Hello, I just found your blog tonight while doing research on the Cunnyngham family...maybe we are related?
