Saturday, November 15, 1947, at the age of 78 years, 2 months and 8 days. He had been listening to the radio and the attack came as he reached to shut it off. Death was instantaneous. He had appeared in his usual health during the day and in the afternoon had been down town shopping. Mr. Rumsey was born at Roundtop, Pa., September 7, 1869. Early in life he moved to Missouri with his parents and lived on a farm until he took up the printing business as a profession in his youth. July 4, 1895, he was united in marriage to Lillian May Russell at Grant City, Mo. To this union were born six children, four daughters and two sons. Twins, who died in infancy, and a son Judson Harmon, who died in the service of his country in World War 2, preceded him in death. Mr. Rumsey engaged in newspaper work in Missouri until 1918, when he came to Geneva and began work in The Signal office. He was employed there twenty-two years, moving to Belden in 1940 to go into business for himself. He remained there two years, and then went to work on the Laurel Advocate, remaining there until he retired because of poor health and returned to Geneva to make his home. Mr. Rumsey was a printer of the old school. He learned the trade from the ground up, and was a capable and efficient workman. His hobbies were music and golf. He liked band work and for many years played in the bands where ever he was located. He was one of the first members of the Geneva Golf club, and even though his health was poor, he was often seen on the links last summer. He was a member of the Methodist church. He is survived by his widow and three daughters, Addie Marie, at home; Mrs. Mabel McMillan of Eagle Rock, Cal., and Mrs. Maude Conner of Brule, Neb., eight grandchildren, two brothers, one sister and many friends. Funeral services were held at the Hrubesky Funeral Home at 2 p. m. Tuesday, November 18, Rev. Ben F. Wallace officiated. Mrs. H. A. Rosenau sang. Interment was in the Geneva cemetery.
