GEORGE P. BUMGARNER, a native of Belmont county, Ohio, was born March 20, 1846. 
April 1, 1855, his parents removed to St. Clairsville. When fourteen years old 
he began the trade of shoemaking with his father and followed the same till 
September 27, 1864, when he enlisted as a private to serve in the Union army, 
14th Regiment, O.V.I., and continued in service till the close of the war. Upon 
his return he again pursued his trade in St. Clairsville until March, 1869, when
