  Notes	Loren Rumsey was 21 in the 1850 census of Clarksfield, Huron Co, Ohio, a farmer living with Augustus Barrett 36 and his wife Clarissa 35. Mary White was in New London at age 16, with her parents Ford and Betsey White. With them was also their daughter Adeline (White) Porter who later married Loren's brother, John W. Rumsey. In 1860, Loren was back in New London aged 32. His wife Mary was 26, and their baby boy was 1 month old, his name illegible, but looking more like Jeremiah than Elmer. Also in the household was a 19 year old school teacher. (The entire entry is out of focus on the film.) In 1870 L. W. Rumsey was 40, a farmer with $3100 in real estate and $850 in personal property. Mary W. was 36, and their son Elmer was 10. They also had a domestic servant and a farm laborer. In 1880, Loren and Mary E. Rumsey of New London Tp were aged 52 and 46. Elmer was 20 and working on the farm, and had brought home his 18 year old bride, Mary Amanda, to live with his parents. Loren died intestate in 1899. His obituary said he had moved to Ohio with his parents from Jerusalem, NY, in the spring of 1837. He was survived by sisters Mrs. Mary Adams and Mrs. Kate Chandler of Norwalk, and brother John Rumsey of Wakeman; also nephews Lewis C. Chandler of Fitchville, J.G. Hoffstatter of Toledo, Fred H. Chandler of Bronson, C.C. Chandler of Norwalk, E.H. Chandler of Fairfield, and Frank Coleman of New London. (Frank Coleman was a cousin of Loren's wife, not his nephew - FWR) His only son had died the preceeding year. His widow, Mary E. W. Rumsey, applied for Letters of Administration, listing the heirs as grandsons Frank W. and Loren E. Rumsey of New London. Petition for Sale of Real Estate showed Frank W. to be a minor over 14, and Loren E. under 14, both living with Amanda Rumsey at 102 High St, New London Village. (PR File 3897) In the 1900 census, Mary E. W. Rumsey was listed in New London Village as a widow and a farmer, aged 66, having had only one child who was now dead. With her were her daughter-in-law Mary A. Rumsey, and two grandsons Frank W. and Loran E. Rumsey, called nephews. (Census list typed with #60-45) In 1910, widow Mary E. W. Rumsey was living with her sister Elizabeth and her husband Joseph A. Coleman. She was 76, and her only child was dead. The obituary for Mary E. Rumsey in 1914 said she died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Case. The probate of her estate listed her grandsons Frank and Loren Rumsey as her heirs, both still in New London. (PR File 6047) [2]
