Jeremiah Cunningham
Cunningham was born in 1839 on his father's farm in the northeastern part of Durham, New York along what is now known as Cunningham Road. He worked as a farmer and mechanic for many years. According to an 1896 Greene County Directory, Cunningham had a 160-acre farm. In March 1886, he became the Commissioner of Highways in Durham. He held that position until at least 1900. During his tenure, Cunningham kept journals and account books detailing his work as highway commissioner. He built 13 bridges as highway commissioner, and eight of his stone arch bridges survive. Six of Cunningham's bridges have been listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. His bridges were typically constructed using local limestone and a dry-laid fieldstone method with a round arch. The Shady Glen Road Stone Arch Bridge was built in the spring of 1886 and was one of the first to be built by Cunningham after his appointment as bridge commissioner. Early entries from his journals as highway commissioner include the following:
