Clarence Brumpton longtime Clarkston resident died of prostate cancer Monday at his home. He was 96.
He was born July 31, 1894, at Moscow to John E. and Annie E. Brumpton. The family later moved to Red Bird, Idaho, and he attended school across the Snake River at Couse Creek, Wash.
He quit school at the age of 15 and went to work for various ranchers in the Anatone and Cloverland areas.
On Nov. 27, 1924, he married Melva Stone at Walla Walla. He worked in the Portland, Ore., area for a few years before they moved back to Asotin.
While there, he ran the Conoco Service Station. In 1935, the family moved to Yakima and he operated the first Conoco station there.
While living in Yakima, he was a member of the First Christian Church, where he taught Sunday school and served as a deacon. He was also a Cub Scout leader for a church-sponsored troop.
He sold the station during World War II and bought several lots in southwest Yakima, where he built several homes.
In 1950, they returned to Clarkston and he purchased several lots and built homes and duplexes.
Since returning to Clarkston, he has been a member of the First Christian Church Disciples of Christ, serving as a deacon, elder, and Christian of the General Board.
Survivors include his wife of Clarkston; a son, Don E. Brumpton of Clarkston; two sisters, Cecile Humprey of Portland and Charlotte English of Cottonwood, and a brother, John Brumpton of Seattle.
A sister, Anna J. Hibbard, and an infant brother, Bertie Francis Brumpton, died previously.
The family suggests memorials be sent to the First Christian Church, 840 10th St., Clarkston, Wash. 99403.
