Biography
Scottish centenarian born at the turn of the 20th century. The second of eight children, she and her siblings slept head-to-toe in one bed in their tiny home. At age 7, she went to school but had to leave in 1914 at the outbreak of WWI. She was sent to work for a baker but as women were urgently for the war effort, she went to work instead for a munitions factory. At age 17, she was forced to leave as the factory chemicals affected her health. She soon after met a handsome miner James Cunningham. They fell in love at first sight, married in 1918, and had four children. They were happily married until James' death in 1968. Cissy continued to work until well into her 70s as a cleaner at the Prestonpans police station.
