  • Alice's first husband was George Cunningham.  From the birth of their first reported child, Claude C Cunningham, in February 1887, they married in 1886.  Tis mtches the marriag erecord found later.

    They had a total of 6 children who were enumerated in the 1900 census.  But in the meantime George had died, some time after the birth of their last chid, Dora, born in November 1999.

    But Alice must have very soon marrired again for only a few months, only to be widowed again before the 1900 census.  Because she was reported as a widowed head of household with all her Cunningham, children, under the surname of Steward.
