From: A Portrait and Biographical Record of Allen and Van Wert Counties Ohio 1896
George Rumbaugh, eldest son of Jacob and Barbara (Wikel) Rumbaugh and father of our subject, was born in Virginia, on the homestead, in 1790, married Miss Elizabeth Britton, and came to Ohio when twenty-five years of age, and for fifteen or sixteen years engaged in farming in Greene county. In 1817, he came to Allen county, and settled on 160 acres, the land now occupied by the county infirmary. Here he resided for nearly twenty years, when he removed to Iowa, where he ended his days a member of the Methodist church.
Morris Rumbaugh, the subject proper of this biographical notice, came to Allen County with his parents and rendered his father valuable service in clearing up the new homestead in Bath Township, and with him made his home until nearly thirty-six years of age, when he purchased a farm of 100 acres in Bath township, much of which he cleared up and upon which he made many improvements. In the spring of 1852 he sold this property and moved to Wisconsin, but in the fall of the same year returned to Allen county and purchased the farm of eighty acres in Bath township, on which he resided until his death, July 18, 1895. Mr. Rumbaugh was united in matrimony, in 1835, with Miss Mary Hanson, a daughter of Benjamin Hanson of Bath township, the union resulting in the birth of seven children, in the following order:; Lydia, wife of William McClellan; Milton, deceased, Eliza J., deceased wife of George Fungate; Henderson, Hollis, and Lambert, deceased; and Cyrus. In politics Mr. Rumbaugh was a republican, but never sought public office, yet as a matter of duty, he felt it incumbent upon himself to fill the office of constable in Bath township for two years. A strict member of the Methodist church, his life had been such as to show his fellow men that he was sincere.
