THE MARSHALL MESSENGER
March 3, 1906Hon. W. B. Blalock died at his home in Huntsville, Texas, last night of pneumonia, aged 51 years.
Mr. Blalock was born and raised at Woodlawn in Harrison county and was brother to Dr. E. B. Blalock, who left last night for Huntsville. He was married in Marshall in early manhood to Miss Fannie Jones, who died some years ago.
Mr. Blalock moved to Huntsville to accept a position in the office of his brother-in-law, Hon. Watt Finley, when(sic) financial agent of the penitentiary board and has been in the service ever since, at the time of his death chief clerk to the superintendent of penitentiaries. He was here on visit Christmas and never looked better--the very picture of health, and enjoyed every minute of the time, meeting boyhood friends and having them "guess who", little dreaming that even then the shadow of death was hovering near, soon to fall across his pathway, shutting out forever the faces of friends and loved ones.

Obituary for Eugene Swearingen Cuny
Gene Cuny passed away on February 13, 2013. He was a fifth generation Texan, born in Houston August 29, 1915.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father and his son, Fred Cuny.
Survivors include Charlotte, his wife of 70 years, his sons and daughters-in-law Gene and Pat of Austin, Phil and Mary Jo of Dallas, Chris and Janice of Heath, as well as grandson, Craig, who was raised by Gene and Charlotte, and his wife Annie of San Antonio. Other grandchildren include Chad, Rachel, Ellen, Zeke, Kittrick, Caroline, and Austin. Gene is also survived by six great-grandchildren, Colton, Odessa, Sabine, Fox, Alex and Katie.
Throughout his entire life, Gene served others. He was an Eagle Scout, a 32nd Degree KCCH Scottish Rite Mason, President of the Downtown Dallas Exchange Club, a Rotarian, a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer for neglected and abused children and, up until the age of 90, served Meals on Wheels to "the elderly". He was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church of Rockwall and was guided by his Christian faith. Following his graduation with honors from the University of Houston, Gene was awarded a scholarship to Colorado State University.
Pursuing his love for the theatre and an acting career, he then moved to New York with his new bride, Charlotte, where he appeared in the Broadway production of "The Pirate" with Lynn Fontaine. Later he became the stage manager at Radio City Music Hall and during this time he nearly "bounced" Winston Churchill from the theatre before recognizing who he was. While at Radio City Music Hall he was awarded a second scholarship to Yale where he was a Rockefeller Foundation Fellow in the Graduate School.
During his time in New Haven, CT, he taught English and Speech and handled publicity for New Haven Junior College. He subsequently returned to Houston, TX to work for an advertising agency where he wrote commercials, radio shows and soap operas. It was during this time in Houston that he was asked by the Hughes Tool Company to "stand in" for a portrait of Howard Hughes, Jr. The portrait that hangs for all to see in the Hughes Company headquarters is that of Gene's body and the head of Howard Hughes. When a couple of friends opened radio stations in Lake Charles and New Iberia, LA, Gene joined them and became general manager of both stations. With a growing family and what he predicted to be the future in broadcast media, he moved the family to Dallas in 1951 to work for KRLD-TV, which became KDFW, the CBS affiliate, and later FOX, for an illustrious 35-year career. He retired after serving as Program Director, National Sales Manager and Director of Community Affairs. Gene served several years as the president of the Dallas Advertising League, and was a board member and producer for numerous years of the Dallas Press Club's Annual Gridiron Show, which showcased Dallas' newsworthy headliners each year.
Following his retirement, he worked for the international relief agency, CARE. He was an elegant and graceful dancer, had a passion for horseback riding, boating and travel, was a caring father, grandfather and uncle and was hopelessly in love and faithful to his one true love, Charlotte.

June 26, 2014Charlotte Marie Walser Cuny was born Jan. 27 1920, in Sioux Falls, S.D., to Fred and Ruby Walser. She passed away in her 94th year on June 23, 2014, in Heath.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 70 years, Eugene S. Cuny Jr., and her eldest son, Fredrick Cuny.
She is survived by her brother, Robert Walser and wife Gail of Minneapolis, Minn.; sister Margaret Shutler and husband Philip of Annandale, Va.; her sons, Eugene and wife Patricia of Austin, Phillip and wife Mary Jo of Dallas, and Christopher and wife Janice of Heath; grandchildren Craig and wife Annie, Zeke, Kittrick, Rachel, Ellen Hawkins and husband Brian, Chad Wells and wife Agnes, Caroline and Austin; and five great-grandchildren.
Charlotte joined the Christian Science Church while in high school in Minneapolis, and upon graduation the family moved to Houston. She enrolled and graduated from the University of Houston, and it was there she met the love of her life, Eugene.
After their marriage and several moves, the family settled in Dallas in the early 1950s. There she was not only an outstanding homemaker, but also a part-time bookkeeper, a member of PEO, and she joined and participated in the operations of the Casa Linda Presbyterian Church.
The family moved to Heath in 1972. She re-joined the Christian Science Church in Terrell, and was an active member until her passing. She also taught pre-K and kindergarten at Happiness House in Rockwall and later at the First Presbyterian Church of Terrell, and was also a volunteer literacy tutor.
She still had time and energy to sing with the Rockwall Lakeside Singers, and particularly loved dancing and teaching line dancing at the Rockwall YMCA. And, together with a close group of friends nicknamed "The Intrepids," she and Gene traveled the world.
In her later years, she was blessed with the wonderful care of relatives, friends, and neighbors; with patience and concern from the home helpers of Visiting Angels and the staff and doctors of Presbyterian Medical Center; and especially, the loving friendships she had with the members of the Christian Science Church of Terrell and First Presbyterian of Rockwall. Thank-yous go to all.
She will be remembered by the family for her generosity, her constant correspondence, her deep faith, and the always welcoming aroma of fresh-baked cookies.
