Mumaw was born in Holmes Co., Ohio, June 27, 1852. In 1876 he was married to Catherine Shaum, of Wayne Co., Ohio. Seven years after his marriage he moved to Elkhart Co., Ind., where he resided for sixteen years, when he again took up his residence in Ohio, about four miles east of Wooster, where he resided until the time of his death. He complained for some months and finally got so serious that he was taken to the hospital on Saturday, May 12. An operation was performed on Sunday morning. The surgeons found an abscess with considerable pus on the liver. They were unable to remove the gall stone. Bro. Mumaw rallied from the effects of the operation but on the second day the family were informed that he could not live. His death occurred on Tuesday evening. He is survived by his wife, 9 children, 7 sons and 2 daughters, a son and daughter having died in infancy; one grandson, 2 brothers and three sisters also survive him. Bro. Mumaw was a minister in the Mennonite church for about 20 years, and always held to the plain doctrines of the church. Funeral services were held at the Martin Church, near Orrville, Ohio, on May 17, conducted by I. J. Buchwalter, David Hostetler, Adam Brenneman, and other ministers present. The family seem to be undergoing a season of affliction, Sister Mumaw had just returned from Kokomo, Ind., where she underwent treatment for cancer. May God comfort and console the mourning friends.

Pre. Amos Mumaw, a well-known minister of the Mennonite church, residing near Wooster, Ohio, died at Stoll & Ryall's Hospital in Wooster on Tuesday, May 15, 1906. His death followed an operation for an abscess of the gall bladder. The deceased was born near Winesburg, Holmes Co., June 27, 1852, his age being 53 Y., 10 M., 18 D. In his youth he was united in marriage to Sister Katharine Shaum of Chester township, Wayne county. A few years after his marriage he moved to Indiana, where he lived fourteen years. Seven years ago he returned to Ohio and located near Wooster, Wayne county. Bro. Mumaw officiated as a minister of the Mennonite church for twenty years. Firm and consistent in his faith in the church and their plain manner of life, he won the esteem of all who knew him. His kindly disposition and sincere Christian charity made him hosts of friends, and he has left the world deplored by many. He was a model man as a husband, father and neighbor, and his friends may well be consoled with the reflection that he has met the reward of the just. He is survived by a wife and nine children-seven sons (George, Amos, Levi and Harry, of Orrville; Adam, Daniel and John, at home), and two daughters (Martha and Anna, at home). One son and one daughter died in infancy. One grandson, two brothers (Harry and John), and three sisters (Susan Weldy, Rachel and Fannie) also survive him. The funeral was held on Thursday, May 17th, 10:30 a. m, at the Martin M. H., southeast of Orrville. The services were conducted by the Brethren I. J. Buchwalter, David Hostetler and Adam Brenneman, from Rev. 22:13, 14. A large circle of friends and acquaintances attended the services. The relatives from a distance were Bro. and Sister J. K. Weldy of Wakarusa, Ind., brother-in-law and sister of deceased; Dr. H. A. Mumaw, Elkhart, Ind., brother; Ira Weldy, Bremen, Ind., nephew; and Sister Phoebe Kolb, Elkhart, Ind., niece. --- [Orrville Crescent.]
