Jesse Mumaugh.
The popular postmaster at Bunker Hill, Indiana, Jesse Mumaugh needs on[sic] introduction to the citizens of his community. For some years prior to assuming the duties of his present office, he was widely known as an educator in Miami county, and although still a young man has impressed himself favorably upon the community along various lines. Mr. Mumaugh belongs to a family that has been for many years connected with the agricultural development of Miami county. He was born in this county, March 26, 1889, a son of Daniel and Christina (Weaver) Mumaugh, and a grandson of Elias Mumaugh and Henry Weaver. His mother's people came to the United States from Germany in 1866, and settled in Miami county, while on the paternal side, the family settled in this country during the late fifties, coming her from Ohio. Both Elias and Daniel Mumaugh followed agricultural pursuits in this county for many years, and the latter still carries on operations in Pipe Creek township, where he is the owner of a handsome property. He is one of the substantial men of his community, has ever stood high in public esteem, and has made a success of whatever he has undertaken. He and his wife have been the parents of three children, namely: Jesse; Elias, who married Chloris Webb; and Nellie, who became the wife of Frank Setty. All reside in Miami county.
Jesse Mumaugh was given only ordinary educationsl advantages in his native county, this being supplemented by three months of attendance at the normal school. He made the most of his opportunities, howver, and when still a youth secured a teacher's license and entered upon his career as an educator. He was successfully engaged in training the young in Pipe Creek and Deer Creek townships until his appointment, in 1912, by Postmaster Frank Hitchcock, to the office of postmaster at Bunker Hill, having successfully passed the civil service examination. In the discharge of his duties he has proved capable, willing and courteous, having a high regard for the responsibilities of public service and exhibiting conscientious devotion to duty.
Mr. Mumaugh was married in Pipe Creek township, Miami county, Indiana, to Miss clara Ethel Kelpinger[sic], daughter of Aaron H. Kelpinger[sic], and to this union there has been born one daughter: Hazel, February 20, 1911. Mr. and Mrs. Mumaugh are consistent members of the Progressive Brethren Church, and have taken an active interest in its work. Both have numerous friends in the younger social circle of Bunker Hill, and have proven themselves worthy representatives of the old and honored families of which they are members.
