Lena L. Cummings is the daughter of John William Cummings and Winnie Ann Ivory. She was born 6 Oct 1884 in Modoc County, California. She died 2 Jan 1942 at age 57 in Modoc County, California.

• In about 1903, she married (1) Mr. Hilton in Modoc County, California.
• Then sometime around 1908/1909, she married (2) Arthur H. Layton in Alturas, Modoc, California. He was born in Aug 1878 in California.

Children of Lena L. Cummings and Mr. Hilton:

1. Aris Onita Hilton was born in 1903/1904 in Modoc County, California.

Child of Lena L. Cummings and Arthur H. Layton:

2. Max Layton was born between Apr 1916 and Mar 1917 in California.

Notes

The 1910 census (Alturas, Modoc, CA. p. 12) says that Lena had 6 children, only one of whom was still living at the time. The other five children are unknown. It is also uncertain whether Mr. Hilton or Mr. Layton is the father of those children.

The existence of Mr. Hilton is deduced from the 1910 census entry (Alturas, Modoc, CA. p. 12), where Lena indicates that her marriage to Arthur Layton is her second marriage. Since the only minor in the household is Aris, I assume she is a daughter from a previous marriage.
