- Lulu CUMMINS is the author's sister
- "...was born November 1, 1890 in the home that had been built by her grandfather... She died August 18, 1948 in St. Joseph's Hospital, Bellingham, Washington with cancer. She was also afflicted with diabetes. Lulu never married."
- "Her elementary education was acquired in the rural school at Putney, South Dakota, except for a short attendance at the Ritter School. On finishing the eighth grade in 1905 she entered the Webster, South Dakota High School where her sister Nora was teaching in the eighth grade. After one year in the high school she transferred to the Northern Normal and Industrial School at Aberdeen. At the time she entered the institution it was giving high school work as well as teacher training. It is now known as the Northern State Teachers College. She did her work well and was graduated in 1910."
- "After graduation from the Normal School she taught in the high school and eighth grade at Pierpont, South Dakota, 1910-1911, where she taught Latin and English. The following two years she taught the Eighth Grade in Groton, South Dakota"

College in Nevada, Missouri, where she stayed until 1939, when she had the opportunity of returning to Minnesota to teach the social studies in the Worthington Junior College, where she was located for three years. She enjoyed her work but ill health overtook her. Never robust in health, she had to undergo three major operations in one year. The illness took a heavy toll upon her vitality and her last two years at Worthington were something of a struggle."
