John Cummings.

| Although warned by his advanced
years and growing feebleness that
they could not hopeto have him with
them very much longer, the family of
this venerable and respected citizen
were not prepared to part with him
when his summons came last Satur-
day morning The day previous he
was cheerful, and even up to few
hours before death there was moth
ing to indicate the near presence Of
the pale messenger.
Mr.. Cummings was born Feb. IA,
1919, in Ireland, and graduated from
the Dublin Normal College. He
adopted teaching as his life work.
Taught for seven years in Dublin; ).
emigrated in lS49; taught school at
Albany for one year, and came to
Mineral Point, in 1850. Soon secured
employment in the schools here, and
continued for many, years giving
good satisfaction to people and pu-
pills.
In 1858 he was elected clerk of the
circuit court, and served the county
two years. He was superintendent
of city schools for some time under
the old system. and served for sever
al terms as oity clerk and justice OF
the peace. His home was In this
city continuously since 1850, though
he taught school at Belmont for a
few years.
In 1866 ne was married to Mary
Corcorau, of this city,who with three
daughters aud one son survive to
mourn for an affectionate husband
and father. The eldest son, John,
died few years ago at Denver. The
surviving children are Mr.. Edward
Cummings, of Chicago, Mrs. f. G.
Fielder, Miss Martha, teacher in our
city schools, and Miss Mamie, clerk
at the White House store.
Mr.. Cummings was one OF the best
types of the cultured gentlemen and
conscientious educators of his geGer-
alton. In his life and intercourse
with people he was an example for
the youth intrusted to his care
Courteous and considerate, scrupu-
lousIy careful in his conversation to
avoid slang, profanity and vulgar
isms, she walked blameless before all
