Samuel Mumma died in 1891 and his estate file is very large because he owned a general store and the estate papers contained a complete inventory of the store, including food, clothing and general supplies. These papers were filed in Berks County in 1891 regarding the Estate of Samuel Mumma. In additon, Clara Mumma appears in the Berks County Prothonotary Appearance Docket, April 1892, #136, Roll 13.
