family to the Hubbard House to break
fast. he got the car out Of the garage
and seemed to be backing 1t back and
forth and unable to swing the wheels to
come down the driveway when he sud-
denly expired. Mr.. Cummings was q
factor in this community and will be
greatly missed here a. veil - in Aassa-
chusetts, where he has been prominent
in public affairs as will be seen by
biographical sketch elsewhere In this
paper. Coming to Paris Hill when only
fourteen years Of age TO learn the trade
of printer In the office of the Oxford

of his mother, who believed every young
man should learn q trade, he never lost
his attachment for the place and after
making a more than usual success as
jurist and legislator, he returned here
to purchase and remodel fine summer
home, where all his later summers have
been spent. One OF the duties which he
retained In later years was the presidency
of the Mount Auburn Corporation, an
entirely honorary position but involving
a large amount Of detail and the invest
ment OF q very large fund. In this COM
