Cummings, of Delaware, who came to his death in a plane crash at the Nowata airport Sunday evening, was held at 2:30 this afternoon at the Methodist church at Delaware with Re. Cecil Wells, Pastor of the the church, in charge. The church was filled to overflowing by the relatives and many friends of the young Delaware business man. He had always been very popular, when he was in high school, and later when he entered into the business field, and this popularity was reflected in the large attendance and the beautiful flowers. The floral offerings were so numerous they were not only grouped about the bier, but on each side. Following the service the funeral cortege made its way to the Lenapah Cemetery where there was a short grave service and burial was made. [Paper Unknown - Date Unknown - Courtesy of Doris Ann James]
