Text about Charles Edward Rumelin from Joseph Gaston's "Portland, Oregon, Its History and Builders" (Clarke Publishing Co., 1911) : Without special advantages at the outset of his career Charles Edward Rumelin has steadily advanced in his business career until as president of Ashley & Rumelin bankers he now occupies a prominent position in banking circles in Portland The width of the continent separates him from his birthplace which was Argyle Washington county New York his natal day being September 17 1858 His parents were Frederick and Eliza Blossom Scott Rumelin in whose home his youthful days were passed while he acquired his education in the district schools of New York His early experiences were those of the farm and for a considerable period he was identified with general agricultural pursuits He has been a resident of the northwest since 1885 and has firmly established himself in the front rank of Portland's business men as president of Ashley & Rumelin bankers conducting a private banking business in this city He is thoroughly informed concerning the value of investments and securities of commercial paper and its possible rise in value and in the field of private banking where he has made for himself a notable and enviable position On the 7th of March 1883 Mr Rumelin was married to Miss Flora E Ashley and they have become the parents of a son and daughter Reed Ashley and Rhoda Mr Rumelin served as a member of the Oregon militia from 1888 until 1892 and when mustered out was holding the rank of first lieutenant of Company A of the First Oregon Regiment His political allegiance is given to the republican party and he has twice given very tangible evidence of his fidelity to the best interests of the community by his service in the city council covering the period from 1894 until 1896 and again from 1902 until 1905 He exercises his official prerogative in support of every measure calculated for the public good and instituted several progressive movements which have been of marked value in promoting the city's welfare He was particularly active in abolishing wooden walks and in inaugurating concrete walks.
