General Notes: Husband - Samuel [2] Cummins

---

The early years of Samuel Cummins were, like those of most farmers' sons, divided between attendance at the common or subscription school in the winter, and healthful and manly, if rather exacting, work on the farm in the summer. All of his active business life was passed in agriculture, he continued farming in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, until 1872, when he removed to Brown township, Mifflin County, and was similarly occupied for six years more. After that time, he led a life of retirement and leisure; he resided in a pleasant and convenient home which he erected for himself in the romantic village of Barrville. He was always active in local politics, as a member of the Republican party. In 1867, he was nominated for the office of county commissioner of Huntingdon County, and elected by a very complimentary majority.
