816	DIED at New Bedford, Ill, April 29th 1863, of bronchial pneumonia and typhoid fever, Mr. JEREMIAH MATHIS in the eighty-sixth year of his age. The subject of this obituary was born in Tuckerton, New Jersey, Nov. 26 A.D. 1777, emigrated to Ohio at an early day where he lived many years of his life, and raised a large and respectable family. He came to Illinois in 1840, and settle d in Bureau county where now his remains find a final resting place. He was born and raised among the "Friends" and consistent with early education he lived a quiet, moral, useful life. He possessed a remarkably excellent physical constitution and almost unyielding powers of endurance. As a mechanic he had fe w superiors and he continued to work at his bench, and elsewhere until about a week before his decease. He also enjoyed the full possession of his mental faculties, and in the ripeness of his old age calmly passed to the "better land". His career which commenced only a few months after the birth-day of American Independence, has run parallel with almost the entire history of our Government, and it is with satisfaction that we record his name among the veteran fathers who labor ed for and loved our country so long and well. But it is with sadness we note his death, now in this hour of our country's trial and danger. Heaven grant that the sunshine of political peace which lighted his pathway through life may soon again return, long to cheer and bless his posterity.	Mathis, Jeremiah (I770)
817	Died at the age of 31.	Corbin, Thomas (I9182)
818	Died in this village on Saturday morning last, Sarah E., wife of A.T. Rumsey, aged 35 years.	[Unknown], Sarah E. (I9726)
819	Died Nov 13, yr unknown. Newspaper clipping: "Infant son of Col. John and Mary Robinson, died after a lingering and painful illness."	Robinson, Theodore Dewees (I1901)
820	Died:– John Williams, at the residence of his son, T.J, Williams, south of town on Friday evening last. John Williams was born in Monmouthshire South Wales Nov. 16, 1813. Was married to Miss Mary Davis(sic) in 1841, came to this country in 1853 and settled in Pennsylvania. Two years later he moved to Wisconsin, where he remained for awhile, and then removed with his family, near Nelson about eleven years ago. They had six children born to them, three boys and three girls, all of whom are living, and who today mourn the loss of a dear father. He was stricken with paralysis about ten years ago and has been unable to walk since to the time of his death. Patience had been making him as one of her model subjects during all of these years. Mr. Williams had been a christian all his life, and tried always to live an exemplary life and when death came to relieve him of his sufferings, found him ready and waiting to be called hence. If it is true that the "greater the suffering the more blessed the rest,", what must it be for Grandpa Williams to be there?	Williams, John (I4917)
821	Don George Rumsey appeared as aged 10 in the 1865 census of Enfield, but 22 in the 1880 census, his birth as Oct 1853 in the 1900 census. Though his gravestone gives his year of birth as 1853, his death record indicates it was nearer 1855, for he died in October 1900 at age 44. None of the records of Don or his wife Dora are consistent in age, spelling of names, etc., and in some cases are difficult to read. Dora B., daughter of George Humer and Jane Kirkuff, was 22 when she married Don G. Rumsey who was 32, a farmer of Enfield Falls, in December 1896. Don G. Rumsey was 46 in the 1900 census of Enfield. He was a farmer, married 3 years to "Lora B." who was 27. Their two children were Warren B. 3 years old, and Milton 9 months old. Also with them were Don's unmarried brothers Orval C. 57, and Oscar J. 52. Letters of Administration on the estate of Don G. Rumsey were granted to Dora B. Rumsey and Orville C. Rumsey, with the final accounting in 1903 (PR 43:295). I was told he fell from a tree. Warren B., Milton L. and Gretel M. Rumsey were listed in 1905 among the heirs of their uncle, Orville Rumsey, as children of his deceased brother Don Rumsey, residing in Enfield, all under 14. Dora's maiden name appeared to be Humer in her marriage record of 1896, Hummer in the birth records of her children, Homer in her second marriage record, Hubber in Warren's death record, and Hummer in Milton's death record when her birthplace was given as Swartwood (Chemung Co) NY. It was New Jersey in her marriage records to Rumsey and Goff, and in the birth records of Warren and Gretel. In the 1900 census she and her father were born in New York, her mother in New Jersey. When her son Milton L. Rumsey was married in 1925, he gave his mother's name as Dora Goff. Dora was buried with Don G. Rumsey as "Dora H. Goff, his wife."	Rumsey, Don George (I9694)
822	Don Rumsey was 3 years old in the 1870 census, and 12 years old in the 1880 census of Enfield, with his parents. Donald Charles Rumsey was listed as a broommaker in the Ithaca directories of 1896 and 1899. In the Chicago, Ill, directory of 1906 he was a broommaker, living at 1188 E. Ravenswood Park, and at different numbers on Ravenswood in 1923 and 1928. He was said to be living in Arcola, Douglas Co, Ill, in 1928. He and Rosetta Jane and their youngest daughter Florence have not been located in the 1900 census of New York, Illinois, or Michigan. But their eldest daughter, Bessie Rumsey, was living with her uncle Clarence Burgess at 908 George St., Owasso City, Shiawassee Co, Mich, at the age of 10. Clarence had his widowed mother Hannah Burgess with him also. Benjamin Franklin was probably the grandson "Don A.", aged 8, born in Illinois, his parents born New York and Michigan, who was with Alonzo and Liza Rumsey in Enfield, NY, in 1900. In a family group photo, reported by Mrs. Eric Rumsey (see #103-50), taken when Benjamin F. was 19 (i.e. 1911), is a "Nellie Tubbs" who appeared to be about 30. It is possible she was the Nellie who first married a Conners before becoming Don C. Rumsey's second wife and Benjamin's step-mother.	Rumsey, Donald Charles (I9774)

Died:– John Williams, at the residence of his son, T.J, Williams, south of town on Friday evening last.

John Williams was born in Monmouthshire South Wales Nov. 16, 1813. Was married to Miss Mary Davis(sic) in 1841, came to this country in 1853 and settled in Pennsylvania. Two years later he moved to Wisconsin, where he remained for awhile, and then removed with his family, near Nelson about eleven years ago.

They had six children born to them, three boys and three girls, all of whom are living, and who today mourn the loss of a dear father. He was stricken with paralysis about ten years ago and has been unable to walk since to the time of his death.

Patience had been making him as one of her model subjects during all of these years.

Mr. Williams had been a christian all his life, and tried always to live an exemplary life and when death came to relieve him of his sufferings, found him ready and waiting to be called hence.

If it is true that the "greater the suffering the more blessed the rest,", what must it be for Grandpa Williams to be there?

Don George Rumsey appeared as aged 10 in the 1865 census of Enfield, but 22 in the 1880 census, his birth as Oct 1853 in the 1900 census. Though his
gravestone gives his year of birth as 1853, his death record indicates it was nearer 1855, for he died in October 1900 at age 44. None of the records of Don or his wife Dora are consistent in age, spelling of names, etc., and in some cases are difficult to read. Dora B., daughter of George Humer and Jane Kirkuff, was 22 when she married Don G. Rumsey who was 32, a farmer of Enfield Falls, in December 1896.

Don G. Rumsey was 46 in the 1900 census of Enfield. He was a farmer, married 3 years to "Lora B." who was 27. Their two children were Warren B. 3 years old, and Milton 9 months old. Also with them were Don's unmarried brothers Orval C. 57, and Oscar J. 52.

Letters of Administration on the estate of Don G. Rumsey were granted to Dora B. Rumsey and Orville C. Rumsey, with the final accounting in 1903 (PR 43:295). I was told he fell from a tree.

Warren B., Milton L. and Gretel M. Rumsey were listed in 1905 among the heirs of their uncle, Orville Rumsey, as children of his deceased brother Don Rumsey, residing in Enfield, all under 14.

Dora's maiden name appeared to be Humer in her marriage record of 1896, Hummer in the birth records of her children, Homer in her second marriage record, Hubber in Warren's death record, and Hummer in Milton's death record when her birthplace was given as Swartwood (Chemung Co) NY. It was New Jersey in her marriage records to Rumsey and Goff, and in the birth records of Warren and Gretel. In the 1900 census she and her father were born in New York, her mother in New Jersey.

When her son Milton L. Rumsey was married in 1925, he gave his mother's name as Dora Goff. Dora was buried with Don G. Rumsey as "Dora H. Goff, his wife."

Don Rumsey was 3 years old in the 1870 census, and 12 years old in the 1880 census of Enfield, with his parents.

Donald Charles Rumsey was listed as a broommaker in the Ithaca directories of 1896 and 1899. In the Chicago, Ill, directory of 1906 he was a broommaker, living at 1188 E. Ravenswood Park, and at different numbers on Ravenswood in 1923 and 1928. He was said to be living in Arcola, Douglas Co, Ill, in 1928.

He and Rosetta Jane and their youngest daughter Florence have not been located in the 1900 census of New York, Illinois, or Michigan. But their eldest daughter, Bessie Rumsey, was living with her uncle Clarence Burgess at 908 George St., Owasso City, Shiawassee Co, Mich, at the age of 10. Clarence had his widowed mother Hannah Burgess with him also. Benjamin Franklin was probably the grandson "Don A.", aged 8, born in Illinois, his parents born New York and Michigan, who was with Alonzo and Liza Rumsey in Enfield, NY, in 1900.

In a family group photo, reported by Mrs. Eric Rumsey (see #103-50), taken when Benjamin F. was 19 (i.e. 1911), is a "Nellie Tubbs" who appeared to be about 30. It is possible she was the Nellie who first married a Conners before becoming Don C. Rumsey's second wife and Benjamin's step-mother.
