Read More	Death of R.C. Brumpton Pioneer Merchant and Prominent Citizen Passes to Last, Long Rest After an illness of several weeks at the Memorial Hospital, following an operation, Mr. R.C. Brumpton, one of Red Deer's most prominent citizens and old time business men passed quietly away on Monday evening at 11 p.m., at the age of 56 years. Mr. Brumpton may well be described as one of Red Deer's oldest and most prominent citizens, as he has been connected with every phase of business life in our community since our earliest history, and every prominent movement for the betterment of the people of any nature has had his assistance. Deceased moved to Red Deer in 1892, the year following the opening chapter in the history of our city, and as there were no carpenters available at that time, he, together with the help of his brother-in-law, built his first store, just where the present place of business stands. He conducted a general store business at this stand for about a year, when he went into partnership with R.I. Gaetz. This firm continued in business for two years when they dissolved partnership and Mr. Brumpton moved to Toronto where he felt he could do better in a business way, but soon got tired of Eastern ways and returned to Red Deer in a little over a year and resumed business here, continuing in his well-known business stand until the spring of 1911 when he sold out to McLean Bros., and moved to Vancouver, B.C. In 1912, where he remained until January of last year, when the present partnership was formed and he took charge of the business in Pincher Creek, moving to Red Deer in March last. When Red Deer became an incorporated village, Mr. Brumpton was a member of the first council board and has always been prominently interested in municipal affairs. For a number of years he was a member of the School Board and was always deeply interested in the education and welfare of the young people of the community. His executive ability was perhaps more apparent in the Board of Trade, where he had plenty of scope to develop his ideas, and was for several years President of that important body where he did yeoman services for the community. He was a prominent Mason, being a member of Red Deer Lodge No. 12, A.F. & A.M., and was also a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters and of the Order of Chosen Friends. He was a prominent member of Canada Methodist Church, and a member of the Quarterly Board for many years, and was intimately associated with the history of the church in Red Deer from its beginning up to the present time, when he will be sadly missed. He was a Conservative in politics but held independent views, believing more in the man that in strict party ties. Perhaps in his domestic life more than in any other he was happy and contented, and he leaves a loving wife, a son, J.C. Brumpton, in business at Delburne; and two daughters, Miss Lenore and Miss Evelyn, to mourn his death. Mrs. Brumpton and the family have the sincere and heart felt sympathy of a great host of friends throughout this whole district in their sad bereavement.
