Time Flies Dayhoff: America's oldest banker when he died,
John Cunningham enjoyed walking, cycling and poker
January 11, 2019 by Kevin Dayhoff
As we put away another year and look forward to a new one,
it is only fitting that we remember one of the many great Carroll Countians
that have gone before us: John H. Cunningham.
On Dec. 31, 1965, John Cunningham passed away within a few
hours of his 99th birthday. Local historian Jay Graybeal wrote of “his rich
life, including his interests in bicycling, walking and poker,” in a March 16,
1997 column in the Carroll County Times.

Cunningham was born on New Year’s Day in 1867. According to
his obit, “On January 1, 1885, while a senior at Western Maryland College, Mr.
Cunningham began his banking career as a clerk with the Farmers and Mechanics
National Bank, [at 105 E. Main St. in Westminster] following the footsteps of
his father William, who was a clerk there.”
He worked in the same office, with the same employer for his
entire life — from 1885 until when he passed away in 1965. “Many days he walked
the mile to work from his home at 95 West Green Street.”
