MUMAW - Rachel Barkey Mumaw was born July 7th, 1810 in Northampton Co., Pa. When she was three months of age her parents moved to Fayette Co., Pa., where she lived with her parents until seventeen years of age when the family emigrated to Ohio and located on a farm in Holmes Co. When about twenty years of age she was united in marriage to John Mumaw, which union remained unbroken for fifty-seven years, and to which were born fourteen children, five sons and six daughters still living. The grandchildren number 46, of which 41 are still living. The great-grandchildren 22 and all living. She united with the Mennonite church at the early age of sixteen and remained a faithful member until death (for 70 years). She died at her home near Mt. Eaton, Ohio, Jan. 13th, 1897, aged 86 years, 6 months and 6 days. Her children can pronounce no greater eulogy than that she was truly a good, kind, faithful, loving Christian mother. Funeral services were held on January 16th at the Longenecker M.H. by V.B. Shoup and Josiah Kaser of Mt. Eaton and I.J. Buchwalter of Dalton. Discourse by the latter from John 14:3--last clause.
