  ONE OF THE enterprising farmers of Kingston township is H. V. Rumsey, who lives on
section 8, township; 120, range 29 west, where he also carries on stock raising. He
is a native of Cortland county, N. Y., born April 27, 1848, and is the son of L. H.
and Mary A. (Vincent) Rumsey, who came to Minnesota, in 1868, from Wisconsin, where
they had been living for years, and settled in Kingston, where they still live. Our
subject was one of two children born to his parents, his sister being the wife of
Nelson Turner, of whom a sketch is given elsewhere in this Album.

  The subject of this memoir spent his school days in Fond du Lac county, Wis., and,
until attaining his majority, assisted his father in the labor of carrying on the
farm. He came with the family to this county, and, after coming of age, engaged in
agricultural pursuits upon his own account, taking up a homestead, where he now
lives, and to which he has added until he now owns 180 acres of fine land. He was
married, New Year’s day, 1873, to Miss Anna M. Kline, a native of Michigan, born in
Flint, Genesee county, October 18, 1849, and daughter of James A. and Ann (Shimin)
Kline. She was reared and educated in Winnebago county, Ill., whither her parents
had moved at an early day, and came to this county with the family. A biography of
her father appears in the pages of this volume.

  By their union Mr. and Mrs. Rumsey are the parents of one child—Elton K., born
October 20,1878. Mr. Rumsey is a democrat in his political views, and usually
supports the candidates and measures of that organization. He is the present
treasurer of school district No. 74. and has held that office since it was
organized.
