"David Epler was a farmer in early life, and later became engaged in the butcher business, but died at the early age of 40. He was buried in the old Epler farm in Londonderry township, Dauphin county. The mother [Elizabeth Mumma] died in East Donegal township, when her son, Christian M., was but 13 months old, at the early age of 28, and was buried in the East Donegal cemetery. Left motherless, Christian was taken to the home of his grandfather, Jonas Mumma, and remained in his kind care until he was 20."
