The following is an obituary from an unknown newspaper:
CUMMINGS -- At his home, near Maynard, Iowa, Thursday, October 24, 1895, Enoch H. Cummings, in his 64th year.
Mr. Cummings was born in Swanzey, New Hampshire, April 10, 1832. He came to Iowa in the spring of 1856, and settled in Delaware county, between Earlville and Colesburg. May 20th, 1860, he was married to Miss Naomi Olcott, of New Hampshire, she living only a few years. On the 10th of October, 1868, he was again married to Miss Sarah Beckner, of Delaware county. In the spring of 1892 he, with his family, moved to the vicinity of Maynard, Fayette county.
Mr. Cummings was an industrious, upright citizen, much respected by his neighbors and acquaintances. He had built a comfortable home on his farm, and laid out his premises in nice shape by planting trees, etc. For nearly a year he had been sick and unable to attend to his business. In his younger life he was converted and joined the M. E. church, at the Cummings school house, near his home under the administration of Rev. John Webb. On the last day of his life he expressed his trust in the saviour, and said he was ready to go. He leaves a wife and three children at home, two sons and one daughter, to mourn his departure, and one daughter by his first marriage, who lives in Adair county. After a short service a the home, on Saturday morning, his body was taken to Greeley, where, on Sunday morning, the funeral services were held, after which the body was taken to Earlville and interred in the family lot.
