The Garden Island, Tuesday, August 25, 1931
J. B. CUMMINGS SR. OF KAPAA PASSES ON AFTER LONG ILLNESS

 Jonah Booth Cummings Sr., kamaaina resident of Kapaa for the past forty 
years, died last Wednesday night, August 19, at his home in Kapaa, from the 
infirmities of old age. He had been ill for the past four months. Coming to 
this island about forty years ago from Makaawao, Maui, where he was born, he 
was employed by the Makee Sugar Co., and then by the county, retiring a few 
years ago on account of ill health.
 He is survived by his wife and eleven children, Mrs. Lucy K. Kanaekau, Mrs. 
Sarah Mitchell, Mrs. Julia Nihoa, Mrs. Maria Bridges, and Jonah, William, 
Thomas, Baker, Joseph, John and Daniel. All of his children with the exception 
of one were present at the funeral service, which was held on Saturday at 3 
p.m., at the Kapaa Hawaiian church, with the Rev. I. K. Kauuawai officiating. 
The seven sons acted in the capacity of pall bearers.
 During the time of his residence on this island, Cummings was an active 
church worker and for many years he has represented his church at the carious 
church conventions held on the various islands. He was also a member of the 
Kamehameha lodge and the Hale o Na Alii o Hawaii. He leaves a host of friends 
who mourn his passing.
