Joseph is written up in the History of Champaign County, OH 1881 by W.H. Beers & Co. page 893. It says:
"JOSEPH MUMMA, farmer; P.O. Mechanicsburg; one of the prominent farmers of the county was born Jan 16, 1816 in Washington Co., MD near the battle ground of Antietam. He is the son of Henry and Adelia (Staubs) Mumma; the former a native of Pennsylvania and of German descent; and the latter a native of Frederick City, MD., and of French descent. Henry moved with his parents to Maryland when about 14 years old and in October, 1828, he moved to Ohio, locating near Dayton, where his death occurred in April 1853, and his devoted wife in July, 1866. He was by occupation, a farmer and had three sons and two daughters, of whom our subject is the third. He was 12 years old when he came to Ohio with his parents. He was raised on a farm and has made farming his life occupation. In this line of life he has taken a great interest and been signally successful. He resided near Dayton till the fall of 1866, when he became a resident of Champaign Co., locating in Union Township, and in April 1873, he moved to his present place about one mile east of Mechanicsburg. He is enterprising, as is evinced by his fine, well-improved farms, and large, beautiful residence and surroundings. He is a Republican in politics, formerly being an Old-Line Whig. He married in the fall of 1840, Mary J. Tyler of Montgomery Co., Ohio by whom he has reared three sons and six daughters, one daughter deceased."
