My Genealogy Hound

RUMBAUGH, G. H., physician and surgeon, P. O. Hawleyville; born in Pennsylvania, April 19, 1829, where he remained until 1858. He then came to Iowa, locating at Hawleyville, making him one of the first resident physicians of that place, and an old resident of the county. He was graduated at the commencement of his medical career from the university of the city of New York. He began to practice medicine in his native state, Pennsylvania. In 1864 he married Miss Martha A. Thompson, a native of Pennsylvania, by whom he has three children, two living: Gus. T. and Nettie May. In 1861 he enlisted in the United States army, rendering both field and hospital service. His portrait shows him to be a man of mind, alive to business interests, and the issues of the day. He is a fine scholar, well read, and liberal in his views. He has had much to do with shaping the course of events in Page county, and has done with his might whatever he was called upon to do. Firm, true, generous to a fault, he has many friends and scarcely an enemy.
