(IX) Samuel Cummings, son of Ebenezer Cummings (8), was born at Woburn, Feb- ruary 1, 1851. He attended the public schools of his native town and Warren Academy until he was fourteen years old. He began to work on the farm when very young and was for many years in charge of the milk route. When


he was twenty-one years old he hired his aunt's farm and for five years conducted it successfully. In 1878, after the death of their father, he and his brother, Charles Cummings, bought the homestead of the other heirs and conducted it in partnership for a period of ten years. He sold out his interests to his brother and bought his interest in the firm of Cummings, Chute & Co. When the business was established it was chiefly to deal in hay and grain, but in 1895 the coal business was added and a prosperous business developed. The firm has yards at No. 9 High street and enjoys a large local trade. In February, 1904, the firm purchased a livery stable, known as the Jones Stable, Main street, Woburn, and Mr. Cummings is in charge of this branch of the firm's business, and also another livery stable owned by the firm, located on Park street. The firm has the most extensive stable business in the city. Mr. Cummings attends the Orthodox Congregational church; in poli- tics he is a Republican. He is a member of the United Order of the Sons of Pilgrim Fathers, Woburn. He married, October 3, 1888, Lizzie C. Shaw, who was born at Win- tersport, Maine, August 25, 1867, the daughter of George L. and Charlotte (Wentworth) Shaw, of Wintersport. Mr. and Mrs. Cum- mings have no children.


(IX) Charles Cummings, son of Ebenezer Cummings (8), was born in Woburn, March 16, 1855. He received his education in the public schools of Woburn. He worked with his father on the homestead as soon as he was old enough and obtained from his father, who was a skilful farmer, an excellent prac- tical knowledge of the various branches of agriculture. Between the ages of fifteen and eighteen he worked out by the month for neighboring farmers, thus broadening his ex- perience of farming and of business in gen- eral. From this time until the death of his father both he and his brother Samuel were employed by their father on the homestead, in the dairy, market gardening and other branches of the work. Then he and Samuel bought out their brother and sisters and for ten years continued the farm along the lines established. In 1878 he, his brother Ansel, and. William P. Chute, formed a partnership to carry on the hay and grain business in Woburn under the firm name of Cummings, Chute & Co., with headquarters at the store on High street, and the business prospered. He preferred the farm, however, and exchanged his interest in the business for Samuel's share

in the farm. He devoted his attention there- after to the homestead, making a specialty of raising hogs in partnership with John R. Car- ter. Their business has grown until it is the largest in that line in the vicinity. They raise some three thousand hogs annually, largely of the Berkshire and Chester White strains. He raises many collie dogs and blooded horses also. He has now one hundred and ninety- seven acres of land favorably situated in the western part of the city of Woburn on Cam- bridge street. His sons John and Everett are associated with him in the business. He continues general farming, dairying, and mar- ket gardening. He raises some flowers-car- nations and violets-which are especially fine -for the market and pays much attention to fruit, and his apple orchards are especially fine. His son John superintends the green- houses and raises the flowers and vegetables. His son Everett attends to the marketing of the produce. In April, 1900, Mr. Cummings started his present business in coal and wood, hay and grain, fertilizer, etc., in the old McDonald yards formerly occupied by John Carter, and during the first four years built up the largest new trade in the history of the coal business in Woburn. He has a strong and attractive personality, of ready wit and abounding good nature, and has many per- sonal friends. He has demonstrated large capacity for business. He attends the Wo- burn Congregational church. In politics he is a Republican, but has never accepted public office.
