On Monday last, Jonathan Mumma, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, while hauling wood from the mountains contiguous to Brown's gulch, died suddenly of heart disease. It appears that during the afternoon he had complained of pains in the region of the heart, and chills all over him, and while returning towards home, Paul Amburg, who was driving his team, heard him exclaim: "God Almighty! I'm gone," and by the time he (Amburg) reached him he was dead. Assistance was procured and the body brought to Virginia, when Coroner Pease held an inquest. Drs. Schmalhausen and Raymond made an examination, and found that the deceased died from an attack of apoplexy of the heart. The jury returned a verdict in accordance therewith. Mr. Mumma has resided in this vicinity for a number of years, and was intending to visit his family at Mount Morris, Ogle county, Illinois, some time this fall. He was a man of strict probity, industrious and temperate, and enjoyed the esteem of all who knew him. He was buried in the Virginia City cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, and his remains were followed to the tomb by a numerous and sorrowing cortege of friends and acquaintances.
