Bump Among the men of Hardin county who have appreciated present-day opportunities and have profited by their ingenuity and persistency in the world's affairs as a result of the favorable conditions existing in the great commonwealth of Iowa is Zenas J. Bump, one of the owners of extensive farming interests, but who is now living retired in Iowa Falls. His valuable property has been acquired through his own efforts, his persistency of purpose and his determination, and the legitimate rewards of right living and honest toil are today his. Mr. Bump was born in Walworth county, Wisconsin, August 3, 1845. He is the son of John Orville and Cynthia (Reynolds) Bump. The father was born in Vermont, not far from Rutland, and the mother was from New Hampshire. Zenas Bump, the parental grandfather, who was a descendant of the famous sea fighter, John Paul Jones, and also was descended from a sister of Ethan Allen, of Revolutionary fame, was a soldier in the war of 1812. John O. Bump was born on March 2, 1816, at Middlebury, Vermont, and his death occurred on January 28, 1899, at Iowa Falls, Iowa. His wife, known in her maidenhood as Cynthia S. Reynolds, was born February 13, 1819, at Danville, Vermont, and she died on January 4, 1903, both dying at the home of William Haines. They spent their early lives in New England and were married at Colton, St. Lawrence county, New York, in 1839. The Bump family moved from Wisconsin in the spring of 1864, to Iowa Falls. Mr. and Mrs. John O. Bump were the parents of the following children : Sarah E., now Mrs. Walter Carpenter, was born on November 28, 1840, in Matildasville, New York; Mildred M., who married William Haines, was born on August 9, 1842, at Potsdam, New York; Maria S., who was born at Potsdam, New York, April 26, 1844, married Melton Marble and died at Table Rock, Nebraska, April 29, 1872; Zenas J., of this review; Alba R., born January 24, 1847, in Decatur, Green county, Wisconsin, was in Company M, Second Wisconsin Volunteer Cavalry; Julia A., born July I5, 1849, died November 15, 1849; Andrew, born November 17, 1851, died in May, 1867; Clara E., born July 20, 1855, married J.W. Price and lives near Cooper, South Dakota; Milton G., born in Green county, Wisconsin, June 17, 1857, now lives at Salt Lake City, Utah. Zenas J. Bump grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, remaining there until he was eighteen years of age. He received his education in the common schools. In 1864 he accompanied the family to Ellis township, Hardin county, Iowa, where the father bought a farm. He has devoted his life to farming with very satisfactory results. He was married in 1871 to Phoebe C. Carpenter, sister of Walter Carpenter, whose sketch appears in this volume. They have three children: George A. lives on a farm in Ellis township; he married Riada Buzzell, and they have had five children, one dying when two years old; those living are, Delight, Lottie, Alva and Caroline. John 0., the second child of the subject, also lives on a farm in Ellis township, married Blanche Taylor, and they have two children, Leo and Ralph. Walter Neil Bump, who lives at Jewell, Iowa, engaged as a minister in the Methodist church, married Anna Smallridge, daughter of J.H. Smallridge. and they have two sons and a daughter, DeForest, Wilbur and Mildred. A year after his marriage Zenas J. Bump bought a farm of eighty acres in section 10, Ellis township, this county. Here he prospered and added more land to his original purchase until he is now the owner of three hundred and twenty acres of as valuable land as the county affords, one hundred and twenty acres lying in section 4, near his original tract. He brought this land up to a high state of improvement and cultivation and successfully carried on general farming and stock raising until 1899, when he gave up active work and bought a comfortable home in Iowa Falls; where he still resides. He has kept his farms in Ellis township, which are operated successfully by his sons, he merely looking after them in a general way. He is a man of many splendid characteristics which have won for him a wide circle of friends since casting his lot with the people of this locality.
