George W. Mumma, Madison [Township]

Personal Sketch

The gentleman whose name graces the head of this biography was born August 22, 1846, and is the son of Jacob H. and Susan Mumma.

He was reared on a farm, and he yet pursues that honorable calling. His educational advantages were limited, but by perserverance and self-study he has acquired a good practical education.

In politics he is a Republican, and is in favor of good schools. On the 20th of August, 1874, he, in company with his brother Aaron, purchased the old "homestead," of one hundred and sixty-seven acres, which is located three and one-half miles northwest from Dayton. On another page of this work may be soon a fine view of Mr. Mumma's premise; his farm is well watered and timbered. Two fine portraits, one of himself, and one of his lady, may also be seen.
