Last Rites Held for Accident Victim
Delavan and community were saddened Sunday evening, October 16th, to learn of the death of James Cummings at Beloit Municipal Hospital, where he had been a patient
sufferer since September 2 when he was struck by a car and severely injured.
Mr. Cummings was born on December 25, 1858 in Darien and was
a resident of Walworth County during his entire life. He was the oldest of a family of nine children born to William and Elizabeth Carey Cummings.
On April 14, 1891 he was united in marriage to Margaret Ward of Johnstown, and to this union five children were born. In 1919 he retired from his farm and since that
time has resided in this city, where he was highly esteemed by all who knew him.
He was a man of sterling character, honest and upright, in all his dealings with his fellow men, and a true friend. His friends will remember him as a man who faced the problems confronting his life with unflinching courage, as a good citizen and one well informed on the topics of the current day, as a kind and cordial neighbor, a wise and devoted father.
In his home, the standards he set for his family were high but to those same standards he held himself first most, rigorously, and this heritage will long be cherished by his family.
He was a perfect Christian, always loyal to the faith he was baptized in. His baptism took place in a private
home before St. Andrew's Catholic church was established, and he was one of the many pioneers who worked so
unselfishly in the building of this splendid church.
The deceased is survived by his wife, two sons, Leo J. and Dr. Robert E. of Chicago, a daughter, Mrs. R. S. Delaney of Delavan, nine grandchildren, three brothers. William
and Henry of Chicago and Charles of Darien and two sisters
Elizabeth and Mrs. Charles Gosso of Darien. Two sons preceded him in death Leonard J. in infancy and William Ward in the World War.
Funeral services were held Wednesday morning at 9:30 at St.
Andrew's church, Rev. H. J. Schmitt officiating and interment was in St. Andrew's cemetery. Pallbearers
were James Eagan, Ralph Gosso, Eugene Cummings, Wm J. Cummings, Charles McGinnis and James O'Hara.
Among the many out of town visitors were Rev. Fathers Hurley
and Buckley of St. Barnabas Church, Chicago.
