Frank Meeker Rumbold was born on January 4, 1862 in Meeker Grove, Wisconsin, the son of Dr. Thomas Rumbold and Emma Meeker Rumbold. Five years later, in 1 867, Rumbold's mother died leaving behind Frank and an older sister Mildred (Mrs. Honore Wilkinson). Dr. Thomas Rumbold later remarried. There were four daughters by this second marriage: Charlotte, Estelle (Mrs. Robert D. Kohn), May (Mrs. Albert J. Houston) and Caroline.

The Rumbold family moved to St. Louis in 1868. Frank attended the public schools and later Washington University's School of Medicine. He received his M.D. in 1884 and the same year established a medical practice specializing in ear, nose and throat ailments. One year later Dr. Rumbold became editor of the St. Louis Medical Journal, a position his father had previously held. Rumbold continued as editor until 1895 when, with Dr. M.A. Goldstein, he founded The Laryngoscope, a journal devoted exclusively to diseases of the ear, nose and--throat.

Dr. Rumbold's medical practice was interrupted in 1898 by the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. A long involvement in Missouri National Guard affairs (first enlistment at age 16 in 1876 and a steady rise up the ranks since) led to his commissioning as a captain of the Light Battery "A," Missouri Volunteers. During the Spanish-American War, Captain Rumbold saw action in both Puerto Rico and the Philippines. He was part of the American contingent rushed to secure Puerto Rico before the expected surrender of the Spanish. After being transferred to the 32nd Infantry, Rumbold served as a member of the American occupation troops attempting to crush the Filipino insurrection. For his courage in one particular engagement in the Philippines, Captain Rumbold received a commendation for meritorious service.

Rumbold resumed his experimental work in electric resistance material and railroad "frogs" started before the War. This work resulted in successful patents and financial remuneration. William Ansyl Phillips, a pioneer in the St. Louis industry, aided Rumbold in these efforts.

In 1907 Frank Rumbold married Susan Alice McCord of St. Joseph, Missouri. Miss McCord was the daughter of James McCord, a prominent western merchant. The marriage proved to be a short one, though, as only one year later Mrs. Rumbold died.

This personal tragedy was followed in 1909 by an advancement in Rumbold's military career. Missouri Governor Herbert Hadley requested him to become Adjutant General of Missouri which position he accepted and held until 1913.

Three years later Rumbold became involved in the Mexican Border Crisis of 1916 as a Colonel in the Missouri National Guard. President Woodrow Wilson ordered guardsmen to the Mexican border after tensions created by Pancho Villa's raids into the United States led to talk of war between the two nations. It remained only a "talking war" and within a year Missouri troops were sent home.

Demobilization was short-lived though as American entry into World War I spurred a fresh demand for troops. Rumbold again asnwered the call to arms. After training at Camp Doniphan Oklahoma, Colonel Rumbold, in command of the 128th Field Artillery attached to the 35th Division, was transferred to France as part of the American Expeditionary Force. While in France, Rumbold saw action in the fierce Argonne Forest fighting, the last and greatest of the major battles in which American troops were involved. Rumbold remained in France until 1919 when he returned to St. Louis.

The years after the War saw a continued interest on Rumbold's part in National Guard affairs, culminating in his reappointment as Adjutant General from 1925 to 1927.

Frank Rumbold died in 1937.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

The Frank M. Rumbold collection is divided into three series: (1) Business Papers (2) Military Papers and (3) Personal Papers.

SERIES 1 The business series (21 folders) dates from 1897 to 1920 with the majority of the material dealing with the years 1907 to 1912. Rumbold's inventions in the fields of electric resistance material and railroad "frogs" are covered in depth.' This series also contains many business letters which catalog Rumbolds's diverse financial investments with national and local firms, such as General Electric, Shapleigh Hardware, and Jaccards.

SERIES 2 The largest and possibly richest research source is the military series (38 folders) dating from 1897 to 1937. This series reflects three pivotal events in General Rumbold's military career.

The first is the Spanish-American War and resulting occupation of the Philippines (1898-1901). Rumbold served as a captain in the 32nd Infantry, U.S. Volunteers and received a commendation for meritorious service. Included in the collection are general orders, War Department correspondence, and correspondence between U.S. Representative Charles F. Joy (Mo.) and Rumbold. Of special interest are the letters from troops remaining in the Philippines to Rumbold which detail the condition of the American occupation army and the state of the Philippine insurrection.

The second event is the Mexican Border Crisis of 1916. Rumbold, then a colonel in the Missouri National Guard, along with a contingent of guardsmen was, ordered to the Mexican border to prepare for a possible conflict. Letters relating the condition of the troops, the general military situation and demobilization plans highlight this lengthy section of the papers. Of particular note are letters, legal correspondence, and newsclippings dealing with the controversy over Colonel Rumbold's allowance of alcohol in the Missouri National Guard camp.

The papers relating to World War I (1917-1919) effectively end the military portion of the collection. Colonel Rumbold served as commander of the 128th Field Artillery, 35th Division stationed first at Camp Doniphan, Oklahoma and later in France. Rumbold participated in the last great American military action of the War, the Argonne Forest Battle. Letters from camp, personnel lists and records, and general orders form the bulk of this section. Intelligence reports dealing with topics such as artillery manipulation, gas attacks, booby traps and mines are also included.

SERIES 3 - Although limited in size, (5 folders), Rumbold's personal papers offer a glimpse into American life in the early years of the 20th century. Of particular interest is Rumbold's correspondence with his two sisters, Caroline, a noted botanist, and Charlotte, a prominent St. Louis civil servant and social reformer. Some correspondence between the two sisters is also included in this section. Two letters are included from the 1850s, the remainder of the papers date from 1899.
