A 2007 Visit To Warrior's Mark
June 2007 brought me a remarkable visit to Warrior's Mark, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, and
the great good luck of locating the home built by Johannes Rumbarger and his wife, Elizabeth Ellenberger,
in the first decade of the 1800s. On this historic property, the family cemetery is located. The elder
Rumbargers lie buried here, as does Elizabeth "Betsy" Leathers Rumbarger (1818-1844), first wife of their son John.
The property long has been owned by the Wertman Family, and Mildred
Wertman (see photo below) shared the oral tradition that the smaller building just behind the two-story house, and
slightly to the right, was built for the Rumbargers' son and his family. If the son was John, then this house is most
likely the birthplace of Anna Mary Rumbarger Marshall and her siblings.
I carried back to Warrior's Mark that day the John Rumbarger Family Bible (see photo).
From the day his family headed west for Armstrong County, the significant records contained in this Bible have been
kept safely in the family of Rumbarger or of his daughter, Anna Mary Marshall. Who could imagine that the book ever
would return to this site?
My research partner that day was Justin Kirk Houser, an avid and gifted local historian and genealogist who also has a family connection to this place through . . . [add] . . . Justin had visited the family cemetery on this site
ten years ago, and his help was invaluable in locating the Wertman Farm. He is a first-year law student at Penn
State.

The early photograph of Eliza Rumbarger Goodyear is from the family photo collection of Kelly
Marshall and was given to him by Dorothy Rumbarger Mack in the 1970s. It came to her from her grandfather, Jacob Leathers
