Read More	David was the son of Isaac Bumgarner and Martha Matilda Trogdon. He married Avis Carr on September 20, 1904 in Knox County, South Dakota. David & Avis had one son, William Thomas Bumgarner Brooks (1905-1935). The Eagle, Marietta, South Dakota, Friday, July 16,1909, Vol 3 - No 2, Front Page A sad accident. The picnic held at the Cheyenne river ended in a very sad accident. While some of the men were seining a swift under currant took them off their feet, they became entangled in the net which made it almost impossible for them to swim. One man being drowned and two others narrowly escaped, Mr. Suplee and Burdick, not-with-standing the fact Mr. Burdick being a good swimmer he was almost drowned when Geo. Britton came to his rescue after reaching shore it was some time before he gained consciousness. Mr. Bumgardner being an in-different swimmer, swam with the stream for half mile when he went under. A Carr boy tried to save him but was so near exhausted that he could not dive for him. The women who were camping down the river from where the men went in seining saw his hat floating down the river. The men were so early exhausted that they were unable to help him. A search was made for the body from Saturday until Tuesday morning when at 7 o'clock he was found 3 miles down the river from where they went seining. He is a son-in-law of Mr. Carr near Wellsburg, he leaves a wife and a four year old child to mourn his death. The body was taken to the Carr home Tuesday. Philip Weekly Review Philip, Stanley County, South Dakota Tuesday, July 20, 1909 BODY RECOVERED The body of David Bumgardner, of Hilland, who was drowned the Saturday before in the Cheyenne River at the Burton Crossing, was recovered Tuesday morning by the searching party at a point about three miles below the ford. Men came to Philip at once, and secured a casket and Undertaker Schimpke, and the body was embalmed and shipped Thursday to Seymour, Iowa, where he formerly resided, for burial. The deceased, with six other men, attempted to ford the river on foot. The current is very swift, and the men naturally worked down stream toward the edge of the ford, although exerting their energies all the time to keep upstream. Finally, all of them stepped off into a deep hole and in a second had to swim for their lives. Bumgardner got separated from the rest of the crowd, and when they noticed his predicament, he was out of reach of their assistance. He lived, before removing to his claim near Hilland, in Rapid City for two years. He was a man about thirty years of age, and was well liked by those who knew him. His wife, a daughter of Mr. & Mrs. T. R. Carr, of Hilland, and one child, are left to mourn his loss.
