"Three Deaths at Syracuse"
Syracuse Correspondent
Philip Mumaw
Philip Mumaw, a resident of Syracuse, for quite a number of years but who of late years resided with his daughter, Mrs. Stanley Holter of Morning Star, passed quietly away Jan. 30, 1902, of pneumonia, having been ill about a week. Mr. Mumaw was born Feb. 13, 1827, at Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, was married to Elizabeth [illegible]ne Beach at Shendandoah, Va., in 185[?] to which union were born 8 children, five of whom survive him: John William, David A., and Thomas of this place, and Mrs. Wilbur Duskey of Blatchford and Mrs. Stanley Holter of Morning Star. His first wife having died May 10, 1866, he again united in marriage to Susan Knight in Jackson county, Virginia in 1868. One child was born to this union, Mrs. Edward Kennedy of Felicita, O. His last wife died Oct. 13, 1886. He was a good honest and upright citizen and will be greatly missed by his family and friends. He was 74 years, 11 months and 19 days old at the time of his death. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. L. E. Smith of Racine at the Syracuse Presbyterian church, Saturday at 1 o clock and his remains were interred in the Carleton cemetery, followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends.

Now we have several mysteries. Lydia is not listed as a daughter-in-law, but as a daughter. Humm. Probably a census taker error. It would appear from the records listed above that they had a child by the name of Tharinta.
The child, Ella May Mumma - is listed as a granddaughter, age 9 but I believe this is the one child he had with Susan Knight. It is hard to say who provided the census taker with this data, possibly one of the children. Also, if Susan was the person, then one can see how she might have thought Phillip's parents were born in Germany.
My guess is the census taker listed Ella May as a granddaughter by error and he should have listed Lydia as his daughter-in-law

Not sure if this entry below is for another son of Levi or of his brother, Philip who also lived in the area. I am assuming Levi.
