To this union six children were born. Twins, Mary Ethel and Robert Emery, died in infancy. Judson Harmon gave his life, "the last full measure of devotion," for his country in World War II. Surviving her are three daughters: Addie Marie Rumsey of Geneva, Bertha Mabel McMillian of Los Angeles, Cal., and Laura Maude Comer of Brule, Neb., eight grandchildren and other relatives.
Mrs. Rumsey was a kind and good woman. She was very considerate of others. She tried to make the world a better place. She attended the Methodist church. Her husband was called home November 17, 1947.
Mr. and Mrs. Rumsey resided in Missouri, where Mr. Rumsey was in the newspaper business until 1918, when Mr. Rumsey took a position on The Signal, and the family moved to Geneva. He was employed with The Signal 22 years, moving in 1940 to Belden to go into business for himself. Later he was employed on the Laurel Advocate. When poor health caused his retirement, he and Mrs. Rumsey and Marie moved back to their home in Geneva.
