J. B. RUMSEY, JR., a farmer near Woodland, is a son of J. B. and Mary Rumsey.
His father, a native of Vermont, died when the son was a small boy, in Miami
County, Ohio; and his mother, a native of Pennsylvania, died in Yolo County, in
1886, leaving four children. The subject of this sketch was born in Miami
County, Ohio, in 1834, and came to California in 1857, stopping first in Santa
Clara County. Six months afterward he went to the Southern mines, followed
mining there a year, and then was in various localities until 1865, when he
settled upon his present place of 120 acres two and one-half miles directly west
of Woodland, where he raised wheat mostly, but has forty acres in vineyard. For
his wife he married Margaret Ogden, who was born in Illinois, and their children
are Jennie M., Lewis W., and Elmer and Alvin, twins.
