John was the son of John Mumper & Christina Jane Beelman.
He was married to Elizabeth Ann McAllister (1830-1879) and father to five children: Emma Jane Mumper, Alfred McAllister Mumper, Catharine Elizabeth Mumper, William Norris Mumper & John A. Mumper.
After the death of his first wife Elizabeth Ann (McAllister) Mumper, he married Elizabeth Ann Strock.
Mr. John Mumper died at his residence near Dillsburg, York county, Pa., on December 2d, 1886, aged 69 years, 9 months, and 12 days. He was a brother of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Heiges, who died September last in this borough at the residence of her son-in-law, W.N. Seobert, Esq.; he was also the brother in-law of J.C. McAllister, Esq.
Mr. Mumper lived some of the years of his early manhood near New Buffalo, and is well remembered by many of the older citizens of the east end of the county. Although he always avoided publicity, he was one of the most prominent men of a neighborhood; for while modest and unassuming, his upright character and storng sense won his a natural distinction he did not seek.
His religious convictions were deep, and being a member of the Methodist church, he was one of the foremost men in its spiritual and temporal affairs in his community--indeed he was stricken down with disease, (inflamation of the membrane that surrounds the heart,) while in attendance upon a church Conference at Boiling Springs, in Cumberland county. He survived the attack but a few days, and was buried on Tuesday of last week in the cemetery at Churchtown, Cumberland county, being borne to his grave by six of his nephews.
