Sorry it has taken so long to respond.
I have not found Farnsworth in the family line as of yet but since the Rummel family never seemed to want to leave Iowa you can never tell.
The main connections we have found so far are:
Arndt, Easterly, Harris, Isley, McConkie, Oberton, Sealey, Starry, Strieby, WaggonerNot certain if they are all from families that spent a great deal of time living in Olin.
There are most likely more. I just have not had much of a chance to go through Grandpa Rummel's documentation to see it all. (Much of his work was lost in a computer crash just before he became ill and passed.)We are hoping to visit Olin sometime perhaps in the next year. I would love to visit the historical center. Perhaps I can get scans of the family photos Fran left behind and bring copies along. He had some great pictures of the Rummel and Cooper families from Iowa.
Fran had a copy of the family history written by David E. Rummel.
He was once a postmaster of Olin. Not certain where it went to.Tammy
