General Notes: Husband - Robert Cummins

Stone Valley, Huntingdon Co, PA

He was born in Jackson township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, near McAlevy's Fort, and died in Armagh township, near Milroy, Mifflin County. He attended the township school during the winter, while he spent the remainder of the year working in the grist mill or on the home farm. After his marriage he purchased and inherited his share of two hundred and forty acres of good farm land in Jackson township, where he resided until 1866, then moved to Armagh township, Mifflin County, where in about 1868 or 1869 he purchased a valuable farm of about two hundred and ten acres near Milroy, on which he resided until his death. This estate he improved with suitable modern buildings, and brought the soil to a high state of cultivation. He was familiarly known as "Long Robert Cummins," to distinguish him from others of the sane name. He was a tall man, and when wearing a high beaver hat was indeed "Long Robert." He was a Republican in politics, and held many local offices. In religious faith both he and his wife were United Presbyterians.
