MUMMA
Sarah Ann, wife of George W. Mumma, of Licking Creek township, died at their home between the Pike and Laidig, on Friday, July 12, 1912, aged seventy-five years old, one month, and twenty-six days. Mrs. Mumma's maiden name was Breckbill, and she was born and spent her entire life in the community in which she had died. During the past two years she had been a great sufferer from rheumatism and confined most of the time to her bed, but through it all, she was cheerful and uncomplaining. Mrs. Mumma was a consistent member of the M. E. church, and the large number of friends and neighbors who attended her funeral bore evidence of the esteem in which she was held by those who knew her.
Fifty-two years ago she was married to George W. Mumma, who, at the age of eighty survives her, together with the following children: Harry, residing at Pleasant Ridge, this county; John, at Laidig; James, and William, at Curwensville and Charles at home. The two oldest boys --Mack and Elias and their only daughter are dead. There are fourteen grandchildren.
The funeral, conducted by Rev. J. M. Diehl, of McConnellsburg, took place last Sunday, and the interment was made in the cemetery at the Greenhill Presbyterian Church.
Sarah's Tombstone reads: Sarah wife of G. W. Mumma, died 12 July 1912 age 74 years 1 month and 26 days.
