Aside from the meagre particulars furnished by the Associated Press last night relative to the death of John C. Cummiskey, of this city, at the navy yards at Philadelphia last Saturday night, little was to be learned here. He was an exceptionally efficient officer on the United States ship Panther, and a devotion to discipline led him to break over the regulations of entry into his quarters. In doing this, the observance of what his oath as an American seaman required, he displayed a loyalty to discipline that will be readily apparent.
The body of the unfortunate young man will arrive here at 10 o'clock this morning and the funeral will take place from St. Titus' church at 9 o'clock Wednsday morning with a requiem high mass.
T. C. Cummiskey, a brother, will arrive here this morning. Another brother, M.C. of Oil City, and a sister, Miss Mayme, arrived in Titusville yesterday. -- Titusville Herald March 23, 1909

Cummiskey, who was accidentally killed at Philadelphia last Saturday night while endeavoring to pass a sentry on his way back to his ship, Panther, took place at St. Titus' church at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning.
