Mummaw - Mary, wife of Abram W Mumaw, was born Oct. 16, 1872, near Manheim, Pa.; died of complications June 1, 1935, at her home near Mt. Joy, Pa.; aged 62 y. 5 m. 15 d. This union was blessed with 11 children of whom 10 survive; Reist, Paul, Martin, Elizabeth (wife of Samuel Longenecker) all of Mt. Joy; Verna (wife of Norman Grove), Levi and wife, both of Elizabethtown; Mary (wife of Norman Rohrer), Anna (wife of John Drescher), Jacob and wife, Abram and wife, all of Hanheim; also 19 grandchildren, 5 sisters (Mrs. Ameliz Buchwalter, Mrs. Hiram Witmer, Mrs. John Hershey, Mrs. Monroe Metzler, Mrs. Daniel Stoner), who mourn their loss. Father left us 5 years ago; also 2 grandchildren. Mother's hands will toil no more. She was always so concerned about her family and the welfare of their souls. She was bedfast almost 6 weeks, going through an operation, bearing it all so patiently. The last week she was in great distress, often saying,
"O, come, angel band,
Come and around me stand;
O bear me away on your snowy wings,
To my immortal home."
Mother had chosen her text and ministers. Services were held at the home June 4 by Bro. Samuel Fry and at Mt. Pleasant Church by Bro. Noah Risser and Bro. Graybill Wolgamuth. Text, Psa. 17:15. Interment in adjoining cemetery.
"We miss you here,
We miss you there,
Our mother, dear,
We miss you everywhere."
By the children.
