Ora Vesta Meader, daughter of John Meader (1812-1880) [0184] and Joanna Chick (1814-1851), was born April 23, 1845, probably in Gardiner, ME. January 14, 1869 she married James Abbott Cummings, born February 13, 1839. Apparently they were married in Chicago, although Mr. Cummings was an Easterner. His father was a minister in Portland, ME, and he himself was for some time before and during his marriage connected with a firm of dry goods dealers in Boston.
The children of Ora Meader and James Cummings were:
i. Wainwright Boursier Cummings, born November 24, 1869 in Boston. He was captain of a lighthouse tender on the Great Lakes.
ii. Maude Abbott Cummings, born May 24, 1872. She was taken to Europe in 1889 and was an invalid ever after that.
