Mr. Bumpus began to care for himself when he had barely reached the age of eighteen, and entered on life's labors by engaging wo work on a farm by the month. In 1835 he came to this county. The first farm which he purchased was soon afterward exchanged for one in Schuyler County, and he purchased and improved several farms in Seneca County. In 1876 he removed to the farm which he now owns and manages, and which consists of one hundred and seven acres of well cultivated land. He is a member of the Baptist Church, for several years serving as Trustee in that organization, and has taken much interest in church work."
