  William P. Cummins aged 62 years, one of Pendleton county's best known and highly esteemed citizens, passed on at his home near Bethel on Wednesday, Mar 27, 1935. He had been in delicate health during the winter but had never been bedfast. He was out that morning trimming fruit trees and was seized by an attack and returned to the house, where he passed away suddenly.
   Mr. Cummins was a son of the late Theodore and Helen Adams Cummins and was born in Pendleton county on Mar 2, 1873. He united with the Bethel Methodist Church in 1886 under the ministry of Rev. Shaw. He was united in marriage to Mrs. Julia Plunkett on Feb 22, 1899, and to this union eight children were born. Besides his widow he is survived by three children, Miss Lillian Cummins of Cincinnati, Mrs. Charles Chapman of Covington and Clarence Cummins of this county.

Purdy of Bethel, Mrs. Charles Smith of Cincinnati, Mrs. L. M. Stephens of Covington and Mrs. Thomas Walsh of Indianapolis, Ind., and five grandchildren.
   Mr. Cummins was one of Pendleton county's most industrious and frugal citizens, a splendid husband and indulgent and loving father. He was a most charitable neighbor and was held in the highest esteem by friends in all sections of the county. He was an expert tobacco grower and took great pride in producing quality tobacco. Everything he did he did well, and his loss is a decided shock to his faithful wife, children, brother and sisters. He was one of the best friends the Outlook had and we also feel the loss of this splendid citizen.
   The funeral was held at the Mt. Moriah Church on Friday morning, conducted by the Rev. W. M. Lenox. Burial took place in the family lot in the Bethel cemetery. Funeral director J. M. Mason was in charge of the arrangements.
   The large number of friends who assembled to pay a last sad tribute of respect and teh beautiful floral offerings were evidences of the high esteem in which Mr. Cummins was held by neighbors and friends.
