Killed by lightning. Milo was a son of Michael Mumper and Isabella (Rowe/Rau) Mumper. He was unmarried.
Milo Mumper was the only Mumper known to have been struck and killed instantly by lightning. The following is an excerpt from a Blain newspaper:At 4:30 p.m. the sad news was brought to town that Gutshall's tannery had been struck by lightning killing Milo Mumper outright and rendering Wright Gutshall unconscious, the latter being the tanner and employing Mr. Mumper. They were in one of the lower departments when the lightning struck a flue, ripping it into atoms, tearing a stove pipe to pieces, striking the stove on second floor and splitting into two currents, the main current descended vertically through the floor, striking Mr. Mumper, causing death instantly. The minor current followed the stove and passed through the floor, six feet distant, in the immediate neighborhood of Mr. Gutshall, rendering him unconscious for twenty minutes. Abraham Hostetter's team, driven by his son, accompanied by John Gutshall, had taken shelter at the far end of the tannery and plainly felt the shock. Knowing that it struck hard by, John Gutshall walked around to the further end of the tannery, and entered to find Mr. Mumper a corpse and his clothes on fire.
