21 December 1922 – 19 August 1990

Life
Daniel Aloysius Cunning was born on 21 December 1922 and died on 19 August 1990, aged 67. His New Jersey death-index row reads “CUNNING, DANIEL” and gives file number 0044942; its locality fields, “MIDD EDIST” and “HUDS JERSC,” are not safely expandable without the index code key.
A November 1950 marriage-index entry pairs “FARLEY EILEEN” with “CUMMING DANIEL A.” The surname appears there as Cumming rather than Cunning, so the marriage is a strong candidate but not fully resolved. The entry provides file number 40951 and locality code 09301, but no exact day.
A St. Peter’s College bulletin describes “Dan Cunning, Assistant to the Dean of Students, Evening Session, and a staff member in the Military Science Department.” It names his wife Eileen, their son Andrew, Andrew’s wife Linda, and grandson Mark David, “born February 22.” The bulletin does not give the grandson’s birth year.
How we know this: Strong for Daniel’s dates and college work; moderate for the marriage because the index spells his surname Cumming. [1][2][3]
