Hello Listers: I am searching for ancestors and collaterals of my great grandmother EMMA JOSEPHINE CUMMINS who, in 1939, wrote on a piece of paper which somebody saved, "I was born in Lewiston, Ohio on April 28, 1869". Her name has also been seen written as JOSEPHINE EMMA CUMMINS. "Lewiston" is probably "Lewistown" in Logan County, Ohio just a stone's throw from Jackson Center, Shelby County, Ohio where the family lived for sure. Emma's mother was an ANN (ANNA) ELIZABETH YOUNG maybe born in 1850 in California. Emma had siblings: -NETTIE A. CUMMINS married WILLIAM V. MORRISON on 3 December 1885 and had children: Bonnie, Goldie and Tyra. -BERT CUMMINS married PHAEBY and had children: Beatrice and Silver. -PRIOR CUMMINS married Unknown and had a daughter (minimum). -Unknown Sister. EMMA JOSEPHINE CUMMINS married 25 December 1896 to ALEXANDER (ALIX) HIPFNER born in Baden, Ukraine, Russia on 6 January 1872. Together they homesteaded in Java, South Dakota, then to Krem, South Dakota, and finally moved up into Canada to Shaunavon, Saskatchewan. Emma's children were: -Anna -Opal -Roselia (Rose) -Raymond -Agnes -Herbert -Harold -Eva I would appreciate hearing from anyone knowing anything about this family. Thank you.
