  Notes	"Clyde Elliott Rumsey was 18 in his father's probate of 1905, and 22 when he married in 1909. In 1959 he wrote from Spotsylvania, Va: "We left Michigan in 1929 on account of my wife's health and went to Guilford College, N.C., was in N.C. 20 years and sold out as my youngest boy Gene was a farmer clear through. He was offered good jobs when he graduated from school in N.C., but refused. While he was in the army I sold out and bought up here in Virginia for more work land and timber, as we combine forestry with our farming. The last two years Gene has been County Fire Warden for the State. His division Headquarters are in Charlottesville. As we run beef cattle and hogs, I can do most of the tractor work and he has time off to help with the rest." His business card gives: "Hilly Acre Farm, / C.E. and G.E. Rumsey / Spotsylvania Virginia, R.R.3 / Registered Berkshires / Breeding stock for sale at all times / Farm located 22 miles Southwest of Fredericksburg/on State Route 208." (Miss Alice A. Rumsey of Jackson, Mich, b 25 Apr 1886, who sent information from Mrs. Clyde E. Rumsey in 1969, said: "I am quite sure the birth date for Clyde should be 1887, as I think he is a little younger than I." This agrees with the 1900 census, though his birth was entered before hers in Hillsdale VR for same year.) "Asa" Nichols, probably a misunderstanding of "A.Z.", and Edna were in Ransom Tp, Hillsdale Co, in the 1900 census. Their eldest of four children was Ava, aged 10 years. Clyde E. and Ava N. Rumsey were living close to his widowed mother in 1910, in Jefferson Tp, Hillsdale Co, having been married less than a year. He was 23 and a farmer, she was 20."
