   D. T. Gumert, druggist, Covington, is a native of Fountain county, his
parents becoming residents as early as 1836, and settling at Portland. His
father, John A. Gumert, was a carpenter, and followed this as a business during
his early days. D. T. was born at Portland in 1842. After receiving a fair
education he went to Attica and began clerking in the drug store of a Mr. Terry,
who afterward sold out to Dr. Newland. Mr. Gumert remained in the store for some
time after the change was made, when, in 1866, he came to Covington, and began
as salesman for Mr. Wood, since deceased. Mrs. Wood has continued the business,
over which Mr. Gumert has full control. He is now filling his seventh term of
office as city treasurer, and he is a member of the order of A.F. and A.M. In
1869 he married Miss Sarah Winn, whose people came to this county about 1837.
Her father was an undertaker, and dates back to the first in his line in Covington.
