David H. Mumma's death certificate lists his parents as Jacob H. Mumma, born in Lancaster County and Annie Hershey born in Lancaster County. David's civil war pension record indicates his (David's) birth was in Donegal Township, Lancaster County, PA.
David H. Mumma's obituary from the Harrisburg Telegraph on Monday, May 6, 1912 lists one sister surviving him: Mrs. Joseph Ogelsby and 2 brothers, Amos and Jacob.
Family Bible information: The Bible belonged to David H. Mumma, son of Jacob H. and Nancy (Anna) Hershey Mumma. On the pages recording deaths, it lists "Jacob H. Mumma died July 19, 1866, 54 years 1 month, 11 days Harrisburg Cemetery". It also lists: "? Anna ? Mumma Died March 10, 1899 Age 81 Y, 5 M, 17 D Harrisburg Cemetery" I cannot read the scribble before Anna and the middle initial after Anna. It also lists a death of H. L. Mumma, died June 28, 1877 Age 23 years, who is also on their burial plot at Harrisburg Cemetery. The burial record shows him as Henry L. Mumma, 24 yrs. I assume this is a son.
