CUMMINGS Family in Delavan,Walworth Co,
I am searching for information about my great-grandfather, WILLIAM C. CUMMINGS [born 1864 in Delavan, Walworth Co., Wisconsin], and his family. I do not know who his parents were, or if he had any siblings. He married Mary Usher in Chicago in 1890[?]. They had five children: Archibald James[1900-1975], John, Marie, Helen, And Anita. I'm not certain of the birth order. William was widowed in 1909. I don't know if he remarried. The children evidently did not stay with him. I heard that the boys were sent to a military school, and the girls were sent to live with relatives on both sides of the family. I had also heard that William had been on the Chicago police force. He died in 1939. If anyone has any information to share, I would really be appreciative. Thank you. Barbara
