Dumbauld, a successful farmer and stock raiser, is a naŽtive of Perry County, Ohio, and the eldest of a family of ten children (six sons and four daughters), born to Samuel and Salomia Dumbauld. The father was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, of German-Irish parentage. He was by occupation a farmer and distiller, both of which vocations he followed in his native State. In 1836, he moved to Perry County, Ohio, where in 1838, he married Salomia Wimer. September 1854, he moved to Huntington County, Indiana, and settled on a piece of land, which he had previously purchased and upon which he lived until his death in 1870. He served as Trustee of Union Township several terms, and was a man of prominence in the community where he resided. Mrs. Dumbauld was born in Perry County, Ohio, March 4, 1822, and is still living, having reached the ripe old age of sixty-five years. E. Dumbauld was born December 5, 1839, and was but a youth when the family moved to this township. He enjoyed the advantages of a common school education, and on attaining his majority began life for himself, choosing for his vocation agriculture, which he has since followed with the most gratifying success. April 13, 1868, he was united in marriage with Miss Rebecca Crist, of Perry County, Ohio, daughter of Philip and C. (Ream) Crist. This union has been blessed with the birth of three children, viz.: William H., born November 25, 1863; Philip M., born August 23, 1867, and James M., born April 25, 1875. Mr. Dumbauld, after his marriage, rented a farm in this township, and the following year purchased forty acres of forest land upon which he made his first improveŽments. He subsequently located upon his present place where in addition to farming he has given a great deal of attention to stock raising, being at this time one of the most successful hog raisers in the county. He is a man of intelligence, fully alive to all the interests of the public and for thirteen years held the office of Township Trustee. He has stock in all the leading enŽterprises of the county and takes an active interest in all that tends to the internal improvement of the country. He and wife are members of the Lutheran Church.
