Owner of a farm and tannery in Woburn, Massachusetts. John Cummings also served in both the Massachusetts House of Representatives and Massachusetts Senate. He ran for Congress, unsuccessfully, in 1876.[1] He was a trustee of the Woburn Public Library and of the Warren Academy of Woburn. He was also on the school committee. He was a director of the Perkins Institution for the blind. It is also said that his great recreation was the study of Natural History and "he became so interested in that, that he was led to join the Boston Natural History Society, where he became much interested in Botany, and was chairman of the Botany section."[3] Mr. Cummings took a great interest in his large farm in Woburn which he had bought from the heirs of his grandfather. Today his farm is kept as a public pleasure ground known as Mary Cummings Park named after his second wife who gave the farm on Babylon Hill to the City of Boston to be kept in trust "forever open as a public pleasure ground". 1. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=SCZSoqEw1pYC&lpg=PA275&ots=V8BFNnYj-g&dq=john%20cummings%20metallurgy&pg=PA273#v=onepage&q=john%20cummings%20metallurgy&f=false], New England Historical Genealogical Register Volume LIII 1899 {{DEFAULTSORT:Cummings, John C.}}2. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=8kkLAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PA291&ots=dmDmYnGhcV&dq=John%20Cummings%20Laboratory%20MIT&pg=PA291#v=onepage&q=&f=false Portrait of John Cummings], MIT Technology Review Vol 22 3. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=lCwEAAAAYAAJ&dq=Biographical%20History%20of%20Massachusetts%20john%20cummings&pg=PT67#v=onepage&q&f=false Biographical History of Massachusetts: Biographies and Autobiographies of the Leading Men in the State] 4 : 1812 births|1898 deaths|American bank presidents|People from Woburn, Massachusetts |
