William W. Streeter and Daphne H. Morris, The Vital Records of Cummington, Massachusetts 1762-1900 (Hartford, CT: William W. Streeter and D. H. Morris, 1979).

This 1979 book, by William W. Streeter, Daphne H. Morris,�� has not been scanned online. On Alibris one can buy it but prices range from $60-$85 depending on the copy whereas at Abebooks one can get it for as little as $15.87 but you are only getting a paperback copy of the book. There is a related book titled Only One Cummington: A Book in Two Parts which was published in 1974 by William Streeter and the Cummington Historical Society. Good luck getting that! The latter book has been cited in an academic study called Only One Cummington "Cummington’s local history volume." The same study also says that

In Cummington it is easier than in many places to find out basic information about the circumstances of peoples lives because of two works of local history published in the 1970s. One Cummington (1974) consists consists of both a general history of the town and a remarkably comprehensive property history of every lot in town, complete with photos, owner names and dates. The Vital Records of Cummington (1979) includes birth, marriage, death, and census records for Cummington residents from 1762 to 1900

Volume II was apparently issued in 2008 according to this article with Allen Berrien, with the Cummington Historical Commission funding it.

While Only One Cummington is NOT in the DAR library, the Vital Records of Cummington is available. Also, I must say that Matthew Stowell of the Plainfield Historical Society holds both books, so contact him if you are in Plainfield at any point.

Note: This was originally posted on Apr. 27, 2018 on the main Packed with Packards WordPress blog (it can also be found on the Wayback Machine here). My research is still ongoing, so some conclusions in this piece may change in the future.

Happy #HobbitDay We spent the afternoon at ACPL on a scavenger hunt quest for The One Ring, and enjoying tea and music. It was a great way to celebrate Bilbo and Frodo's birthday. We have the BEST library here Fort Wayne! (at Allen County Public Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoDEE6Ql87C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ijyk8xr0nk49
