Nathaniel Mumma Dies of Paralysis at the Age of 74
HIS HOME WAS NEAR MONROE
Mr. Mumma Lived On One of the Most Beautiful Farms of Tilghmanton District---His Widow and Three Sons, All of the County, Survive
Nathaniel Mumma, one of the oldest and most esteemed citizens of Washington county, died Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at his home near Monroe, Tilghmanton District, of paralysis, aged 74 years. About two weeks ago Mr. Mumma left his home and went into one of his fields where his son was at work, and while giving instructions received the stroke that terminated in his death. He was a man of wide acquaintance and everyone who knew him spoke of him in the highest of terms.
Nathaniel Mumma, who lived on one of the most beautiful farms in Tilghmanton District, was a son of John and Mary (Snavely) Mumma, and was born at the old Orndorff Mill, along the Antietam Creek, January 2, 1833. Mr. Mumma was descended from German ancestry, of the sturdy agricultural type, who came to this country, and first settled in Cumberland county, Pa. His grandfather, Jacob Mumma, was born in that country, passed his youth there, and removed to Washington county, where he purchased the mill property along the Sharpsburg turnpike, near the bridge which spans the Antietam Creek. Mr. Mumma was the owner of two farms adjoining the mill property, and cultivated them, besides operating the mill. He died about the year 1840 (sic). He had three sons: John, Samuel, who died in Washington county, and Jacob, who died in the West. Nathaniel Mumma, the son of John Mumma, was but three years old when his father died. He first attended the old-fashioned "subscription schools" and later, the public schools. On November 4, 1862, Nathaniel Mumma was married, by the Rev. Dr. Zacharias, Reformed pastor at Frederick, to Elizabeth, daughter of Simon and Martha (Neikirk) Schlosser. Mr. Mumma is survived by his wife and the following children: Charles T., farmer of Keedysville District, who married Miss Wolff (sic); Edward S., who cultivated his father's farm, and who married Miss Leatherman; and Hubert G., who lives at home, and formerly attended a business college in Hagerstown. Mr. Mumma became a member of the Monroe Brethren Church in 1863. He was steward for many years up to the time of his death.
Funeral services Wednesday afternoon, leaving the house at 1 o'clock. Interment in cemetery at Boonsboro, Rev. Shettel officiating.
Pallbearers: Daniel Line, D. H. Wyand, A. M. V. R. Deaner, Jacob Gruber, Caleb Wyand and Carlton Rontzahn.
