AMOS MUMMA, grain dealer. P. 0. Shepherdstown. One of the first and most prominent families in this county is that of the father of Amos Mumma, and a lengthy history of Jacob Mumma, the grandfather of our subject, appears in the borough history of Mechanicsburg, and different branches of this family are represented in the several townships in which they reside. Our subject is a son of Jacob and Catharine (Eberly) Mumma. His mother's first husband, Mr. Rupp, a farmer, died soon after the birth of her third child, when she became the second wife of Jacob Mumma and bore him the following children: Eli, Jacob. Amos, Fanny, Eliza and Samuel - all of whom were born in Cumberland County, and living at this time, except Samuel and Fanny. Amos Mumma was married, November 17, 1868, to Marion E., daughter of Christian and Lydia (Miley) Herman, also of this county. The Hermans were among the first settlers near New Kingston, coming in 1771, and the representatives of this family celebrated their centennial in 1871, children of the sixth generation being present on that occasion. The original farm is now owned by Wolford Herman, and the land has been in possession of the name since the first purchase by the great-grandfather. Of the immediate family of Christian Herman are three children: Jacob, John and Marion. Amos Mumma and his wife have four children: Herman J., Alberta J., Levi H. and Lydia H. These children, as they grow older, can read with pride the history of their lineage, which extends back from both branches more than a century. Mr. Mumma has always been one of the most energetic and impulsive of men, brave and intrepid. He twice tried to enlist in the army during the late war of the Rebellion, but his youth prevented the accomplishment of` his intention. As a man, a neighbor, and a citizen, Mr. Mumma has no superior, and is in all respects worthy to bear the name of his illustrious ancestors.
