Cummins received a telegram Monday announcing the serious illness of her son David at Miller, Nebraska, who was here a few weeks since settling up his father’s estate. Tuesday morning she received a telegram saying that her son was dead and summoning her to that place, for which she left Tuesday noon. Mr. Cummins has suffered more or less of late years from a wound in the head received in the late war and it was this that was the direct cause of his death it is supposed. Coming so soon after the death of his father, it is a severe blow to the family who have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. (Bluff City Independent, Bluff City, KS, May 11, 1894) Below will be found an extract from the last issue of the Central Christian Advocate in memory of David Cummins which we are glad to publish. Cummins – David Cummins was born in Tioga Co., N.Y., Sept. 19, 1840, In 1855 his parents removed to Cedar county, Iowa. At the age of 20 years he enlisted in the 11th Regiment of Iowa Infantry, serving honorably for five years. While in the service he received a severe wound in the head from a fragment of shell. Receiving his discharge in September, 1865, he married a few weeks later Miss Melona Long. In 1884 he and his family came to Dawson county, Neb., where he died May 8, 1894. For many years Brother Cummins had been a class-leader in the Church, besides serving as Sunday school superintendent and steward. His life and character were above reproach. To his sorrowing wife and children the memory of his affection, his prayers and his Christian example, is a priceless legacy. His end was peace.
