James N. Cunningham papers

This collection includes Cunningham's personal correspondence, his Last Will and Testament, and personal and business tax records. The tax records include detailed monthly profit and loss statements from Cunningham's Cafe dating from September 1943 to December 1967 when it was sold (possibly because it was no longer profitable). Also in this collection are a menu from Cunningham's, photographs - some by Potter - of the Cunningham family and the Louisville Police force, and a daybook of purchases for the restaurant and bar dating from October 1944 to January 1946. There are also some newspaper clippings saved by Cunningham and appointment yearbooks. The newspaper clippings are mostly undated and perhaps have come from out-of-town papers. Most are political articles or opinion columns on national politics. The three yearbooks from 1928 to 1930 are mostly empty and what entries do exist are hard to understand. Most entries are lists of fees such as telephone, rent, federal docket and court fees. None are explained.
