William Tharp Cunningham
William Tharp Cunningham, known as W. T. Cunningham or as Bill Cunningham (August 21, 1871 – February 7, 1952), was a lawyer and judge in Natchitoches, Louisiana, who served in the Louisiana House of Representatives for one term between 1908 and 1912.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives, 1812-2016: Natchitoches Parish )〕
==Biography==
Descended from a prominent political family, he was a son of the former Thalia Allen Tharp (1843-1872) and Milton Joseph Cunningham, known as Joe Cunningham, a member of both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature and the Attorney General of Louisiana from 1884 to 1888 and again from 1892 to 1900. W. T.'s mother died at the age of twenty-nine when he was only a year old. Cunningham was reared in his native Natchitoches, where he attended public schools, the preparatory department of Tulane University in New Orleans, and the Louisiana State Normal School, a teacher-training institution, now Northwestern State University in Natchitoches. For fourteen years, he was engaged in farming and stock raising and thereafter retained plantation interests. He studied law at Tulane University School of Law and in 1904 was admitted to the bar before the Louisiana Supreme Court. After a term in the state House of Representatives, during which time he continued his private law practice as well, Cunningham was elected in 1912 as a state judge of the 11th Judicial District Court, encompassing Natchitoches and Red River parishes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Tharp Cunningham )〕〔Alcée Fortier, ed., ''Louisiana: Comprising Sketches of Parishes, Towns, Events, Institutions, and Persons, Arranged in Cyclopedic Form'' (Volume 3), Century Historical Association, 1914, p. 113〕
In 1895, Cunningham married Emma Johnson (1874-1963), daughter of James J. Johnson and the former Elizabeth Campbell, who was active in the Methodist Episcopal Church at the local and state levels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Emma Johnson (December 25, 1874 –October 31, 1963 )〕Cunningham, his wife, and other family members are interred at American Cemetery in Natchitoches. He helped to arrange the burial in the family plot of his boyhood family's African American housekeeper, Mary "Mammy" Pitcher (1847-1913).〔
