Notes:

William and Pearl spent their entire life in Washington County except for a few years in early 1900's William lived in Granite City and Madison area working for the B. & O. Railroad. About 1910 to 1918 William delivered block ice daily to homes and business places of Nashville for Steinhauser Ice and Power Plant located in southeast part of the city.
In January of 1918 the family moved from Nashville to the William and Anna (Huegely) Weihe farm, William Rumig's birthplace, located three miles south of Nashville. The couple spent twenty- two years of their life on this farm. To the east of this homestead stood the Locust Creek Church and Cemetery, located in the church yard. The family attended services at this until the church closed down in the mid 1920's. The Locust Creek School was one long mile through the woods to the west, where Mildred and Ruth attended elementary school. Following grade school we went on to Nashville High School and instead of the one long mile walk we drove three miles of dirt roads.
February 24, 1935 Mildred married Elmer Schnare.
In 1940 William and Pearl semi-retired to a ten acre plot they owned, one mile east of Nashville. On August 11, 1944 Ruth married Marvin Peithman at the Wesley Methodist Church, Nashville, Illinois.
The home was broken June 19, 1959 when Pearl, their mother, passed away. William lived another eleven years and nine months longer and passed away March 4, 1971. They are buried on St. Pauls Cemetery, Nashville, Illinois.
