Obituary, The Conway (NH) Daily Sun, 26 May 2011:

Bartram Washburn Bumsted, 87, resident of Valley Terrace, White River Junction, Vt., died Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at his residence with his wife of 63 years, Marcia, at his side. He was born in Jersey City, New Jersey on May 20, 1923, the son of Roy Remmey and Amelia Washburn Bumsted.

In 1945, he graduated from Princeton University with a bachelor of science degree in aeronautical engineering. He completed his Naval Reserves duty (1943 to 1946), aboard the U.S.S. Bon Homme Richard. He returned to Princeton University in 1946 for graduate studies in aeronautical engineering, which were completed in 1947. He then worked two years for Reaction Motors (a manufacturer of liquid fueled rocket engines) in Dover, N.J. as a test and development engineer. The next 22 years were spent in machine tool sales and management with The Eaton Company and Ex-Cell-O Corporation. He and Marcia moved to the North Conway area in 1973 when he was part owner of the J.F. Chick Lumber Company in Silver Lake — forever the salesman. In the mid 1970s, Bart obtained his insurance salesman's license and left the lumber business to work in the insurance industry. He later started the Bumsted Insurance Agency, in which he enjoyed semi-retirement.

In his spare time, Bart loved sailing, singing, woodworking, and serving on various committees in North Conway, NH. One of his great passions was his church. He played a vital role in the establishment of St. Margaret of Scotland Anglican Church in Conway. He served as a vestryman, warden, and choir member.

His parents and a brother, Roy Remmey Bumsted, Jr, preceded him in death.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by two sons, J. Tyler and his wife, Holly, of Fort Myers, Fla., and Peter and his wife, Barbara, of Jamestown, N.Y.; a daughter, Missy Waterman and her husband, Carl, of Enfield; eight grandchildren, Amanda, Emily, and Morgan Bumsted, of Fort Myers, Sara Bumsted, serving in Afghanistan, PJ Bumsted, of Dublin, Ohio, Megan Waterman, of Farmingdale, Maine, and Casey and Colin Waterman, of Enfield.

Memorials can be sent to St. Margaret of Scotland Anglican Church, P.O. Box 1555, Conway, NH, 03818. Online condolences may be made at www.knightfuneralhomes.com.

Funeral and internment is scheduled for Sept. 17 at St. Margaret of Scotland Anglican Church at 85 Pleasant Street in Conway.
