Memorial plaque for James M Cumines linked to Manitoba service
The piece recounts the 1949 Manitoba field officers conference where James M Cumines received a Department of Mines and Natural Resources Conservation Award. After his death a silver tray from the award was given to pilot Norm McCoy and later passed to Harold E Wells who, with Wilf Guynter, arranged a memorial in Owen Sound. The memorial features a native stone slab inscribed with Jim’s name and dates, a sealed envelope, and mementoes, shipped to Lynn Lake then Brochet. Cumines, born January 28, 1879 in Welland Ontario, worked with the Royal Northwest Mounted Police and Revelon Freres, and married Adeline Roy in Isle la Crosse Saskatchewan.
