Three Generations of Local Fame: Robert, James, and Henry Dumars by Erin Doane, Curator

There are different levels of fame. Some people are known within their own town or city, but no one knows who they are outside that community. Some people achieve regional fame with their names and deeds appearing in media across a couple of states. Some become national figures; typically, politicians and performers. And then, there are the international superstars who achieved the type of fame that made them household names. Here at CCHS we like to explore all levels of historic notoriety, but we really focus on those who are locally and regionally famous. That is the case with three members of the Dumars family: Captain Robert R.R. Dumars, James “Jimmie” Dumars, and Henry R. Dumars. Each one attained a bit of fame during their lives, but for very different reasons. (READ MORE)

Today, I researched local vaudevillian, Henry Dumars (seen in the above photo on the left) for an upcoming post on the museum’s history blog. While his story of finding regional fame as a musician and lightning sketch artist is interesting, I also discovered that his father, James, inadvertently helped a Confederate prisoner escape from the Elmira Civil War prison camp in December 1864.

When Jimmie was just a young man, he would run messages in and out of the prison camp for his father who was a Union officer there. The guards were so used to seeing him come and go, he could just yell his name, Dumars, and they’d let him pass. Well, a prisoner named Benni Orcutt bore a striking resemblance to Jimmie. One day when the young messenger didn’t come to the camp, Benni took the opportunity to walk up to the gate, declare “Dumars!” in a loud, clear voice, and was waved on through. Benni had stolen a civilian jacket from a coatroom at the headquarters to help disguise himself and when he got home again, he wrote to the prison apologizing for the theft.
