Research Notes -- David G Brewer 
From Scott Bumbaugh:

George Arlington [possibly Alexander] Bumbaugh was born 13 March 1884 in McKeesport, Allegheny
County, Pennsylvania.  He died 8 November 1963 in Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia.  He was a son
of John Wesley Bumbaugh and Malissa J. Schnatterly.
 
On 5 December 1907 in McKeesport, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania George married Isabella (or
Isabelle) May Zinkhon.  Isabella was born 23 May 1886 in Allegheny City, Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania, a daughter of [unknown] Zinkhon and Agnes C. Beveridge.  Isabella died previous to
George [I don't know when or where].
 
George and Isabella had no children.  However, I believe that they raised a niece, Yvonne John.
