--CROWNED.--
On the morning of August 8th Grandfather Mumma crossedover the river of Time into Eternity.
His earthly journey extended over a period of 87 years 3 months and 4 days. He was born in the state of Maryland May th 4th, 1810, and moved to Belmont Co., Ohio with his parents when a boy. He was converted when 18 and for 69 years lived a consistent member of the Methodist church.
He leaves a wife and 9 children, four sons and five daughters, to mourn his departure.
He was faithful and God has given to him a crown of life. May God’s peace abide with those he leaves behind.---Helper.
