• Notes

  Hartford Courant May 5, 1944 Wealthy Litchfield Man Drowns in River. LITCHFIELD— The body of Seymour Cunningham, about 80, wealthy resident of this town was found Thursday evening in Bantam River, about half a mile from his home. Dr. C. Norden Warner, who was called after the body was discovered said it appeared that the man had fallen into the water while crossing a private footbridge which crossed the river at one point on his estate. Relatives said Mr. Cunningham often went for walks during the afternoon and had taken such a walk about 4 p.m. Thursday. When he had not returned by 7 p.m., a search for him was started and the body was found by Clifford Danielson, an employee on the estate. Mr. Cunningham leaves his wife, Stephanie Cunningham of Litchfield; three daughters, Mrs. Floyd Vanderpoel and Alexis Doster, both of Litchfield and Mrs. Lammot du Pont Copeland of Wilmington, Delaware; a son, Macklin Cunningham of Goshen and several grandchildren.
