A. C. Cummins
Today is the birthday anniversary of Capt. A. C. Cummins, a native of Richland county, who was born near Shelby. After being graduated from Wittenberg college at Springfield he came to Mansfield and began the study of law in the office of former Governor T. W. Bartley, being admitted to the bar in 1860. He was largely instrumental in the recruiting of several companies during the civil war and was commissioned as captain on three different occasions. In 1869 Capt. Cummins was elected mayor of Mansfield and served one term. He has also held a number of other public offices in this city and was a member of the Ohio board of commissioners at the Chicago exposition. In 1905 he was appointed by Governor Herrick as a trustee of the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Sandusky, to fill the unexpired term of Gen. T. T. Dill, deceased, ending in 1910.
