Bernard Mumper, son of Gilbert Arthur Mumper and Margaret Louise O'CONNOR Mumper, is a direct descendant of Georg Michael (1723-1807) and Anna Margretha (1719-1795) MUMPER. The vast majority of Mumpers, listed here at FindAGrave and otherwise residing in the United States, consider Georg Michael to be the common patriarch.

Bernard was killed in Luzon, Phillipines, during WWII. The Battle of Luzon, fought 9 January – 15 August 1945, resulted in a U.S. and Filipino victory. Luzon had the highest net casualty of all US battles fought in World War II; 192,000 to 205,000 Japanese combatants dead, 10,640 American combatants killed, and between 120,000 to 140,000 Filipino civilians and combatants killed.
