George Calvin Mumma, Sr. was a part time inventor. While in Decatur, he invented something which went on a reaper. Some big company farm machinery company offered him something in the neighborhood of $75K for the invention. He did not quite have it perfected and continued to work on it. In the mean time the hay bailing machine came out and made his invention obsolete. They say he was always working on some idea. For reasons we will probably never know, "Papaw" left all his friends, family and job and moved to southern Indiana. I think he was shunned, as he never contacted his family in Decatur again. He bought a farm and started drilling wells on the side. He worked on a perpetual motion machine. I remember him working on it when I was a kid. It had a big wheel and ran on iron balls and made alot of noise. People say Papaw was close on getting it to work. The machine was kept at my Uncle Norman's place for years
