Word was received here last Thursday of the death of Chas. Cummings at Truro where he had been living for several months. He was taking care of the graveyards at Truro, when he took a spell with his heart, to which he was subject. He got in his buggy and drove to town to the doctor and got some medicine. He was taken to the home of Harry Kale, where he died Thursday night. Mr. Cummings formerly lived here and made his home with Dr. Anderson.
