Dumble was born in Chambersburg, Penn., September 19, 1830. When nine years of age he went to Marion, Ohio, where he learned, the printer's trade. In 1853 he bought the Marion Independent, which he published until 1857. Having sold the Independent in the latter year, he soon after became the local editor of the Ironton (Ohio) Register, remaining in that position for seven years, when he removed to Marietta to take the local editorship of the Register. In 1872, he took an interest in the paper, but in 1876, sold out and came to Middleport. Mr. Dumble purchased the Meigs County News at this time, which he changed to the Meigs County Repulican. This paper has come to be one of the most reliable and interesting journals in the county. Under Mr. Dumble's judicious management its subscription list has kept pace with the constant improvement in its columns. Republican in politics, it is at once aggressive and alert in political matters. It is edited on the broadest principles of journalism. Mr. Dumble married Jennie E. Brice, in the year 1860, and six children were born to them: Jessie F., Fannie M. Bryan, Carl C., Nellie F., Laura M. and Fred M. Mrs. Dumble died March 21, 1883, October 14, 1885, Mrs. Anna E.

John Dumble, his father, was an Englishman, having been born at Cornwall in 1790. He came to the United States in 1820, and died in this country in 1862. Nancy Barr became his wife in 1821, and bore him six children, viz.: John B. (deceased), Martha A. Collins; William F. (deceased), Joseph W., Ephraim H. and Samuel R. The mother died in 1836.
