Marvin Cunningham
Local Boy Dies at Training Camp
Word was received here late this afternoon of the death from influenza at the army training contingent in Washington of Marvin Cunningham, 20 year old son of Mrs Cunningham of this city and a brother of Ian Cunningham, make up man at the Midway Driller office.
Young Cunningham left Taft several days ago with the last draft contingent, having successfully passed the physical examination on the 9th of this month at Bakersfield. He was apparently in the best of health and good spirits when he left here and his death comes as a sudden shock to his family and many friends.
No funeral arrangements have been announced.
