-------------------------------------------------------------------
D. L. Cummings, who has for the past thirty years been a resident of Richmond, died suddenly Thursday afternoon, in Union City, Ind., after a severe attack of heart trouble, from which he suffered in the railroad station in that city. Mr. Cummings left Richmond Tuesday on his regular run, as a traveling representative of the Moore Oil company, of Cincinnati. He arrived in Union City Thursday and was stricken with the attack shortly after alighting from the train. He was immediately removed to a hotel where physicians were summoned, although Mr. Cummings protested, stating that he wanted to come to Richmond immediately. About noon he recovered from the shock to a considerable extent, but between three and four o'clock Tuesday afternoon he suffered a severe relapse and died a few moments afterward. His relatives in this city were immediately notified. His body was brought here and taken to the home at 240 Richmond avenue.
Mr. Cummings had been suffering from heart trouble for several months, but at no time before was he in any way severely stricken. He complained slightly of his heart before he left Richmond Tuesday, but thought little of it.
WELL KNOWN AND POPULAR
Mr. Cummings was one of the well known and well liked men of Richmond, and his friends were legion. For the past thirteen years he had been identified with Moore Oil company, and during this time had made a wide circle of friends throughout eastern Indiana.
Mr. Cummings was a former resident of Bath, New York, where he was born. At the time of the civil war he enlisted with the 112th New York volunteer infantry and served with honor during the entire period. Following the war he returned to Bath, where he remained for several years and then moved to Indianapolis, where he lived for two years prior to moving to Richmond. He was sixty-two years old.
He is survived by a wife and three children, Raymond, a resident of this city; Edgar, of Memphis, Tenn., and Ruth, also a resident of this city. His two sisters, Mrs. Robert Holly, of Cory, Pa., and Mrs. Nancy Miller, of Bath, N. Y., have been notified of their brother's sudden death and probably will come to this city. His sister-in-law, Mrs. Rose Cummings, of Indianapolis, has also been apprised.
The funeral arrangements have not as yet been announced.
