*************************
JOHN PHILIP MUMMA
John Philip Mumma was numbered among the pioneer residents of Dayton, coming to this City in 1827 when but four years of age. Dayton had at that time taken an little of the evidences of modern metropolitan civilization and development which it now bears. It had few industrial or commercial enterprises but within it were possibilities for development which were recognized by those early settlers. In pioneer times down to the date of his death, covering a period of about seventy years, Mr. Mumma was deeply interested in the growth and progress of Dayton and at all times cooperated in any movement which he deemed essential to its welfare and upbuilding.
He was born an a plantation in Frederick county, Maryland, August 20, 1823 and in 1827 came with his parents to Dayton, Ohio. He was a son of Jacob H. W. Mumma, who was born in Maryland in the eighteenth century and was married in Frederick county, that state, to Miss Mary M. Blessing. They removed to Dayton in 1827 and in Montgomery county the father, who was a weaver by trade, purchased a tract of land, which he cultivated in connection with weaving until the '40s when he abandoned the latter pursuit. He then continued to engage in farming until his death and became recognized as one of the representative agriculturists of the community. Unto him and his wife were born nine children, of whom one died in early manhood, while eight reached years of maturity.
John Philip Mumma was only four years of age when in 1827 he came with his parents to Dayton. Here he was reared and acquired his education in the common schools. He continued his studies until about fifteen years of age and through the periods of vacation worked an his father's farm which lay not far distant from the corporation limits of Dayton. He afterward gave his entire attention to general agricultural pursuits until about 1867, when he bought a Livery stable in Dayton and conducted it with growing success until his death, which occurred February 23, 1904. In addition to his livery business he also dealt extensively in real estate, watching for favorable opportunity for investment. As the years passed by he prospered, owing to the capable management of his interests and to the rise in realty values.
At his death Mr. Mumma left the following children: Cornelius Blessing, Frances S., Samuel M., Raymond A., John Franklin and Mary M.
The mother still survives and yet makes her home in Davton. Mr. Mumma belongs to no secret societies but was reared in the faith of the Lutheran church. In all of his business relations he commanded the confidence and good will of those who knew him and those whom he met socially enjoyed his friendship and entertained for him warm regard.
