General Notes: Husband - John Rumbaugh

---

Mt. Pleasant Twp, Westmoreland Co, PA

He grew to manhood on his father's farm, obtained his education in the common schools, and assiduously cultivated the farm which had originally belonged to his grandfather and afterwards inherited by his father. His pride was in being industrious, his ambition was to be useful, and while he gratified the former he was successful in achieving the latter. He was a man of substantial worth who delighted but little in show and heartily detested sham and affectation. He was a stanch republican, an ardent Lutheran and a generous friend.

General Notes: Wife - Margaret Brinker

After the death of her husband she showed herself fully capable of successfully and judiciously managing the large and valuable farm which he owned when he died. This farm of two hundred acres was valuable for its mineral wealth as well as its agricultural products.
