Mrs. James Cummins (Butte singer; sang at Ellen Murphy's funeral, 1935)
Also known as: Mrs. James Cummins
family confidence: 0 — not family / context
The singer at Ellen Murphy's funeral (both 1935 reports) and, probably the same woman (75), the soloist on the Hibernians' St Patrick's programme at the Empress theatre on 17 Mar 1918 (Butte Independent, 9 Mar 1918, p. 1: the page file archive/pages/1918-03-09_butte-independent_p01, which is not a clipping and has no source id). Her husband was a James Cummins of Butte; that he was the AOH's James Cummins (person_james_cummins_butte_aoh; state president 1912-1916, a pallbearer with James J. Murphy at Thomas Kealey's funeral in 1916) is an inference from the Hibernian setting (60). Record created 4 Oct 2026 (full analysis, promoted names, batch b10b).

Marriage
- married to James Cummins60Her printed name makes her the wife of a James Cummins of Butte. That he was the AOH's James Cummins is inferred from her solo on the Hibernians' 1918 programme and her singing at the funeral of the mother of his AOH colleague; another James Cummins of Butte is not excluded: 60, an estimate. · 1935-08-27 — The Montana Standard, p.5; 1935-08-27 — The Montana Standard, p.7
