29. CHARLES HENRY CUMMINGS, son of Jonathan George 20, m. April 7, 1885, Mary H. Packer, dau. of Judge Asa Packer, of Mauch Chunk, Penn. After the death of his father, he found a home with his grandparents, John and Sally (Currier) Adams, and, having received the advantages of the public schools, he started out with the eagerness of youth to win his way in the world. At this time the railroad had been built through the town, and the whistle and rumble of the passing trains incited an early ambition to engage in railroading. His first practical experience was in a subordinate position on the Fitchburg R.R., succeeded by a brief service with the Boston & Maine R.R., and the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne, & Chicago R.R. In this service his aptitude and ability promoted him to freight conductor. Trans- ferring his relations to the New Jersey Central R.R., he remained with that corporation until 1864, when he entered the service of the Lehigh Valley R.R. as passenger conductor, and subsequently as general pas- senger agent, with an office in New York City, from which he retired with an honorable record in 1888. Later, for twelve years he engaged in the coal business, and was an active partner of the firm J. A. Brad- ford & Co., of Boston, Mass. In the Masonic fraternity he has attained unusual prominence and distinction. He was made a Mason in St. Mark's Lodge, of Newburyport, Mass., in 1863, and was exalted in Zerubbabel R. A. Chapter, New York, 1867. He was Eminent Com- .
mander of Packer Commandery, No. 23, Knights Templar, Mauch

Chunk, Penn., 1887. He is now a member with rank of Past Eminent Commander, of Palestine Commandery, No. 18, Knights Templar, of New York, and an honorary member of Detroit Commandery No. 1, of Detroit, Mich., and of Pilgrim Commandery, of Laconia, N. H. In the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry he was created a Sovereign Grand Inspector-General of the thirty-third and last degree, Sept. 15, 1885.
Mr. Cummings is a loyal son of Plymouth, and is interested in every enterprise that sustains the good name and promotes the pros- perity of his native town. Of an even disposition, genial and cordial, he wins and enjoys the friendship and esteem of his fellowmen. To enhance the welfare and happiness of his friends is to him a continued source of pleasure.
For several years, Mr. Cummings, in his journeys of pleasure, has visited many points of interest in the United States, Mexico, and Alaska, and has made several visits to Europe, Japan, China, and India. His last foreign trip was to the Orient. He has a summer home at Spindle Point, on the shore of Lake Winnepesaukee, and at other seasons of the year he is a frequent guest at the Pemigewasset, in Plymouth.
