0836: M. Homer Cummings Papers, 1909-1968

 

Melville Homer Cummings was born in 1890 in Pickaway, Monroe County, West Virginia to Hugh and Nannie Talbott Cummings. He was licensed to preach in 1907, attended the Literary and Bible Training School (now Trevecca Nazarene University) in Nashville, Tennessee and the University of Chattanooga, and was assigned to his first pastorate in 1910. The 31 boxes in this collection contain the following materials by Cummings: college examination papers; sermons and radio addresses; newspaper columns; letters; poems (single copies, booklets, and a spiral-bound book); and songs (single copies, booklets, song books, printing plates, and recordings). There are also letters written to him; newspaper articles about him and his family; materials from the Literary and Bible Training School and McCrum Slavonic Training School (Rev. and Mrs. Cummings’ alma maters); song books and vinyl records from his collection; and various miscellaneous items.
