RUMPLE, Jethro, clergyman, born in Cabarrus county, North Carolina, 10 March, 1827. He worked on a farm, and studied at intervals till he was eighteen years old, when he began to prepare for college, teaching to defray his expenses. He was graduated at Davidson college in 1850, studied in the theological seminary at Columbia, South Carolina, and was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry in 1857. After holding pastorates in Mecklenburg county, he was called in 1860 to Salisbury, North Carolina, where he has since remained. The University of North Carolina gave him the degree of D.D. in 1882. Dr. Rumple has taken an active part in the court-oils of his church, and published "History of Rowan County, North Carolina" (Salisbury, North Carolina, 1881), and "History of the First Fifty Years of Davidson College" (Raleigh, 1888). His "History of Presbyterianism in North Carolina "is now (1888) appearing as a serial.
