Death of H. M. Cummings’ Father.

On Friday last, H. M. Cummings received a telegram announcing the death of his father at Janesville, Wis. At the same time he received the telegram, he also received a letter written by his father telling of the arrival of Mr. Cummings’ two sons who went down to Janesville to visit their grandfather. When the letter was written, the old gentleman was in his usual health. He was taken ill the middle of the following night and died the next day. Mr. Cummings and his family went down Friday evening to attend the funeral.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows this was John who is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Janesville. He was born Dec. 15, 1815 and died August 8, 1901.
