SIMON S. MUMMA.
Simon S. Mumma, who is successfully engaged in market gardening in Harrison township, has a well improved farm of sixty acres on the Salem pike, about two and a half miles from Dayton. His birth occurred February 2, 1857, an the old Mumma homestead in Harrison township, his parents being Jacob and Susan (Klepinger) Mumma, the former also a native of this county. Jacob Mumma, a retired agriculturist, is one of the best known men in Montgomery county and
one of the oldest citizens of Harrison township. Unto him and his wife were born eleven children.
Simon S. Mumma received his education in the schools of his native township and when not busy with his studies he aided his father in the cultivation of the home farm. Since attaining man's estate he has devoted his time and energies to truck farming on his place of sixty acres and also raises some stock, meeting with a highly gratifying and most commendable measure of success in his undertakings. He has erected a large and substantial barn, while his residence is one of the most attractive and commodious in the entire county, containing eleven rooms and being up-to-date and modern in every particular. His reputation for business integrity is unassailable and his methods have ever been such as would bear close investigation and scrutiny.
On the 28th of September, 1882, Mr. Mumma was united in marriage to Miss Nannie M. Studebaker, a daughter of James and Deliah (Sweitzer) Studebaker, who came to this county from Pennsylvania. Unto our subject and his wife have been born four children, namely : Earl M.: Myrtle M., the wife of Harold Wampler; Ethel M.; and Orphia. Mr. Mumma belongs to the First Reformed church and his life has ever been in harmony with his professions as a member thereof. He has always lived in this county and his interest in its welfare and upbuilding is deep and sincere, as is manifest by his active cooperation in many movements for the public good.
