Cummins John Anderson my grand father and I had always been told by my Father Marvin Allen Anderson his son that although born John Cummins Anderson, he changed his name to Cummins John Anderson(do not know when) because he had a brother James Cahill Anderson and both were called JC and he did not like the confusion.
I always knew Cummins John by Shorty and I can only remember folks calling him that as I was only 15 when he passed.
I had always been told that as a C & O Railroad engineer that his engine or cars jumped track one time when crossing the Ironton Bridge coming out of Russell KY..
