History
Cumminger Bros. was a prominent firm in Sherbrooke, Guysborough County, Nova Scotia from ca. 1860s to the end of the 19th century. John Cumminger (born 1827 in Sherbrooke, died 1892) was the senior partner, and at least three of his brothers, Ebenezer, Isaac, and Samuel were involved in the firm. The firm owned Cumminger Bros. general store on Main or First St., Sherbrooke, where they imported and sold British and other foreign merchandise. Adjacent to the store was the shipyard, and John Cumminger also held interests in sawmilling and goldmining. The Cumminger Bros. general store building was restored in 1970 as part of Sherbrooke Village Restoration.
