According to the Troop books, Rumples resided in Yancey County where he enlisted at the age of 28 on July 3, 1861. He was mustered in as a private in Company B, 29th North Carolina Troops. Rumples was promoted to sergeant on May 2, 1862, and was reduced back to the rank of private prior to March 31, 1864. He was last reported on the records of his company on December 19, 1864 (the records of the 29th NCT are woefully incomplete).

Rumples was the brother-in-law to another Yancey County Confederate: William B. Creasman, who served as colonel of the 29th North Carolina from September 18, 1863 to December 29, 1864. Creasman is buried just a few feet from Rumples.
