Obituary ~ Martin Cummings
▪ Dead of Apoplexy
The sudden death of Martin Cummings, at his home on Van Buren street Wednesday morning caused a great shock among our citizens, and his demise is deeply regretted by all who knew him.
Mr. Cummings was in the act of lighting the kitchen fire when he was stricken with apoplexy, and fell over upon the floor. Dr. E. G. Lukemeyer [Edward G Lukemeyer, born Dec 1860, was a DuBois County physician with German parents] was at once sent for and hurried to the house, but Mr. Cummings was beyond all early help and life was soon extinct.
Deceased was a native of Ireland, and was born in the year 1844. He came to America in 1863, and Sept. 1, 1870, he married Miss Mary Howard, at Boston, Ky.
About a year or so after their marriage they came to this city, where they have since resided.
Mr. Cummings was a contractor, and for many years superintended the construction work on the Air Line railroad. At the time of his death he was superintendent of the rock roads being constructed in this township.
He was a good man, honest and upright, and always performed his work in the best manner he knew how.
He leaves besides his widow, five children---John and Emmett Cummings, at St Louis; Mrs. Fred Jarboe, at Jasper; and Miss Mae and Howard Cummings, of this city.
He was a member of St. Mary's church. The burial will take place at St. Mary's cemetery this morning.
