"S. H. Mumma
Mr. Mumma was born of German parentage in Dauphin County, PA in 1838 and came to Granville in 1863. Three years before he married Anna A. Vanderslice, a towns woman of himself. In 1875, he embarked in the mercantile business and is the leading tradesman of the place carrying a very complete assortment of well selected goods. He is the father of ten sons and daughters, viz: James V., Harry L., Willie D., Gracie E. Warren S., Herbert, Mary E., Charlie L. Richard and Fannie. Are members of the Congregational church of Granville. He is township collector and member of the council, has held other minor offices, and stands well in the community. "
His death is recorded in Putnam County, IL. The names of his father and mother were listed as "unknown". His death was reported by his son, Richard E. Muma who was living in Chicago at that time.
His son, Richard Muma, listed his father's name as "Henry Muma" on his marriage application in 1919. This is the first occasion where Solomon's middle initial of "H" has been associated with a name.
