N. T. CUNNINGHAM, of the firm of Cunningham, Bollinger & Phelps, dealers
in general merchandise, dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, etc., is a
representative business man of Morgan County, and was born in Martinsville
October 1, 1832.  He is the son of James and Hulday (Lizenby) Cunningham,
natives of Kentucky, who were married in that State August 15, 1826, and
immediately came to this township.  The father at first engaged in
farming, but being a business man was soon occupied in stock tending,
hotel-keeping, general merchandising, flat-boating, etc.  He died in
Martinsville, July 19, 1856, his widow following May 1, 1861.  N. T.
Cunningham was reared a farmer until eighteen years of age, when he came
to Martinsville with his parents and assisted his father in his hotel and
other businesses, after which he returned to farming for two years.  In
1858, he opened a general store in Martinsville under the firm name of
Cunningham & Stevens; three years later, he purchased the interest of Mr.
Stevens, and has continued business to the present time, associated with
various others including W. R. Sheppard, S. McCracken, James Sheppard and
T. Phelps, during the war carrying on two stores. The present firm was
formed in 1880, the partners being James Bollinger and T. Phelps, and the
firm is doing a thriving trade.  Mr. Cunningham has also given much
attention to stock raising and trading.  He owns about 800 acres in Morgan
County, mostly improved; he has laid out two additions to Martinsville,
owns five rooms in Union Block, and has invested much money in building
enterprises.  He was married in 1862 to Miss Nettie C. Sheppard, native of
Morgan County, and daughter of Isaac D. Sheppard, one of the early
settlers.  Two children have blessed this union - C. Sherman and Julie M.
