Description

Portrait of Geneva Catherine (Painter) Cummins as a young woman.

Geneva was born in Woodstock to Charles Hubert (1895-1967) and Mary Elizabeth (Combs) (1898-1993) Painter. When she married in 1946, she worked as a stenographer and lived in Edinburg.

Her husband was Charles Herbert Cummins, Jr. (1924-1975). He was born in Anstead, West Virginia, to Charles Herbert (1895-1962) and Gladys Signora (Tolley) (1895-1963) Cummins. When he married, Herbert was a student living in Arlington, Virginia.

The 1950 census found Geneva and Herbert living in the Madison District of Shenandoah County. They lived with Geneva’s parents and two younger siblings. Geneva worked as a bookkeeper in a poultry plant while Herbert worked as a printer’s helper in a printing plant.

They had at least one son, Donald, who, as of 2002, lived in Edinburg.
